“As we observe Ramadan, we are also reminded of the importance of renewal and moral responsibility in our national life,” President Mahama stated. He emphasized that true faith is demonstrated through kindness, forgiveness, and compassion towards others, adding that “if you say you are a true Muslim or a true Christian, and you are hard of heart, unforgiving, wicked, or you kill your fellow human being, then you cannot call yourself a true Muslim or a true Christian.”
The President also acknowledged the role of religious leadership in sustaining peace and unity in Ghana, praising the National Chief Imam and the Islamic clergy for their wisdom and guidance. He described Ramadan as a period that inspires generosity, compassion, and solidarity among communities.
President Mahama’s message underscored the importance of interfaith understanding and cooperation in promoting national cohesion. He urged Ghanaians to emulate the values of compassion and forgiveness, emphasizing that these are essential for building a harmonious society.
