The Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, has conveyed heartfelt Eid Mubarak greetings to Muslims in Ghana and around the world.
In his message, he highlighted the importance of Ramadan, urging the Muslim Ummah to maintain a spirit of prayer, sacrifice, and unity.
“The heavens, the earth, and everything in them bear witness that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. I extend the best of greetings to all Muslims around the world. Eid Mubarak! May Allah bless us all,” he said.
The Minister expressed gratitude to Allah for the strength and perseverance shown by Muslims during the month of Ramadan, recognizing their prayers, fasting, and sacrifices. He also extended his thanks to Ghanaians for their continued support and trust in the government.
“We are grateful to Allah for His mercy and victory. We also appreciate the mandate given to us by the people. We pray that this leadership brings blessings to our nation,” he stated.
Muntaka also emphasized the government’s dedication to keeping its promises to the Muslim community. He pointed out that in under three months, a significant pledge had already been fulfilled—an additional holiday for Eid celebrations.
“It is our leader’s intention to ensure that every promise made is fulfilled, not by his might or strength, but by the grace of Allah. We ask for your continued prayers and support as we work to build a better nation,” he added.
The Minister took the opportunity to encourage modesty and peace during the Eid celebrations. He urged Muslims to remember the true spirit of Ramadan by continuing to show kindness to the less fortunate and fostering peaceful relationships with their neighbors.
“Let’s celebrate in moderation and be mindful of those who are less fortunate. Islam teaches us peace and unity, so let us uphold these values by supporting our neighbors, regardless of their religious beliefs. Let’s also avoid activities that could disturb public peace or lead to violence,” he advised.
In concluding his message, Hon. Muntaka prayed for wisdom, good health, and strength for all Ghanaians, particularly the country’s leaders, so they can continue to guide the nation toward progress.
“It is my prayer that Allah blesses us with good health, wisdom, and understanding, enabling us to work diligently and with integrity in all our endeavors. May we be blessed with many more Eid celebrations in the years ahead. Eid Mubarak!” he declared.
