John Dramani Mahama has extended warm greetings to Ghanaians as the holy month of Ramadan begins.
In a message released on Friday, February 20, the President, together with his wife, Lordina Mahama, wished Muslims across the country a spiritually fulfilling and blessed Ramadan.
President Mahama described Ramadan as “a special time; a month of reflection, renewal, and coming together as one community,” urging citizens to embrace the values of faith, unity, compassion, and generosity that define the sacred period.
John Dramani Mahama further encouraged Muslims observing the fast to seek purification of the heart and a strengthening of their iman, while praying for good health, peace of mind, and abundant mercy throughout the holy month.
The former president emphasised the virtues of compassion, generosity, and discipline during Ramadan, noting that although fasting involves abstaining from food and drink, the deeper significance of the month lies in extending kindness to all especially the less fortunate.
He also called on Ghanaians to use the sacred period to promote unity, love, and peace within their communities.
“Let us strengthen the bonds that bind us and deepen our sense of togetherness across our beloved nation,” he urged.
Concluding his message, President Mahama said: “From my family, we wish you a spiritually fulfilling and blessed Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah accept your worship.”
His message comes as Muslims across Ghana prepare to begin the 30-day period of fasting, prayer, and reflection.
