The incoming constituency chairman for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Bantama Mr Jantoah Amofah Bernard (JAB) has charged Muslims in Bantama and the country to use the occasion of Ramadan fasting to seek for abundance, unity and cohesion for Ghana as they embark on a 30-day journey of fasting and prayers in fulfillment of religious obligation.
The NPP scribe believes the spiritual exercise that kicked started on this Sunday 3rd April 2022 among Muslims across the globe holds the key to mercy and granting of requests of the Supreme Being as believed and taught by the muslims and scholars, hence his appeal.
Mr Jantoah Amofah Benard Made these expressions when he took the time out to wish Muslims in a successful journey on the asking colleague non-muslims to help provide enabling environment for the fasting neighbours to experience a peaceful exercise whilst remembering the nation at large in their prayers for prosperity and enhancement of peace and security.
He noticed the cordiality and brotherhood relationship between muslims and Christians as well as believers of other faiths in the district and Ghana as a whole and believes it was necessary for all to rally behind the muslims in this period to seek the face of God on behalf of the country. “We wish them good health, good luck, good strength and urge them to remember Bantama and Ghana thrive from grace to grace”.
He said The Qur’an tells us that there are splendid “wages and forgiveness that awaits fasting men and women”- Qur’an – Al-Azhab (35).
May Allah’s acceptance of the fasting and prayers of all our Muslim brothers and sisters bring forth the fruits of these blessings and bestow on our nation and its leaders abundant grace and peace.
