President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has offered his best wishes to Muslims in Ghana and around the world on the commencement of this year’s Ramadan fast.
The Islamic community in Ghana began their month-long fast today after the National Chief Imam, Shiekh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, declared Apirl 3, as the start date for the 2022 Ramadan.
In a message on Sunday, the President urged Muslims to to commit to the essence of the period.
“It is a month of intense devotion and commitment to the principles of love, sacrifice and devotion to duty.
” I urge Muslims to strive to live by these values, and cloak the month of Ramadan in sanctity and holiness,” he said.
Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar for fasting, prayer and introspection.
