Ramadan: We’re assured of Allah’s grace – Mahama

Ghana’s former President John Dramani Mahama has urged Muslims to gather courage and be assured of Allah’s grace despite challenges facing humanity.

In a brief message to the practitioners of the Islamic faith, John Mahama said “Wishing our beloved Muslim brothers and sisters an edifying Ramadan Mubarak”.

He noted that “Sighting the sliver crescent moon symbolises Allah’s faithfulness and heralds the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, marked by purification, generosity, and self-sacrifice”.

“Notwithstanding the many challenges we face as a people, we are assured of Allah’s unfailing grace”, Mahama said.

May this holy period of fasting and prayer instil in us love, empathy and compassion for one another, and bring to us, our families and our nation countless blessings.
