As Ghanaian Muslims joined millions around the world to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, the National Chief Imam, Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, used the occasion to urge Muslims to embrace reflection, gratitude, and spiritual renewal.
Speaking at the national Eid prayers, his spokesperson, Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu, emphasized that Eid is not only a time of festivity but also an opportunity for believers to reinforce their commitment to faith, humility, and community service.
“This moment is a reminder of the discipline, patience, and devotion that Ramadan instills in us,” Sheikh Shaibu said. “We must continue to embody these values beyond the holy month and remain steadfast in gratitude to Allah for his mercy and guidance.”
The Chief Imam’s message underscored the importance of using the lessons learned during Ramadan to foster peace, unity, and social responsibility. He urged Muslims to uphold the principles of kindness and charity, particularly towards the less fortunate.
“As we celebrate, let us remember those in need, extend a helping hand, and continue to be ambassadors of peace in our communities,” he added.
Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, is not only a religious milestone but also a moment for believers to reflect on personal and communal growth. The Chief Imam’s call for gratitude and righteousness resonated with many, reinforcing the essence of the celebration as a time of spiritual renewal and collective harmony.
