The Muslim Caucus of Parliament has called on Muslims across Ghana to observe this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebrations in an atmosphere of peace, unity, mutual respect and national harmony.
The call comes as Muslims across the country and the world prepare to mark one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic calendar, commemorating sacrifice, obedience and devotion to God.
Speaking on behalf of the caucus, the Member of Parliament for Salaga, Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah, emphasised the need for peaceful coexistence among all religious groups during the celebrations.
According to her, Ghana’s longstanding reputation for religious tolerance remains one of the country’s greatest strengths and must be protected at all times, especially during major religious observances.
“Ghana’s strength lies in our religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence,” she stated.
“As we celebrate, I urge all Ghanaians, particularly the Muslim Ummah, to observe Eid-ul-Adha in an atmosphere of peace, mutual respect and harmony,” she added.
The caucus also extended goodwill messages to the broader Muslim community, encouraging worshippers to embrace the values of peace, unity and respect as they engage in prayers, sacrifices and festive activities across the country.
Mrs Ibrahimah further urged Muslims to reflect on the core teachings of Eid-ul-Adha, including sacrifice, obedience to God, compassion for others and generosity toward the less privileged.
“As we mark this occasion, may the lessons of sacrifice, obedience and compassion inspire all of us in Parliament and across Ghana to place the common good above self-interest and to work together for a just, united and prosperous nation,” she said.
