Members of Majlis Ansarullah of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana have settled medical bills for needy patients at the Princess Marie Louise Children’s Hospital, with a call on Muslims and the wider public to support vulnerable people, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

The gesture was led by the Greater Accra Regional Nazim of Majlis Ansarullah, Mustapha Salifu, who said the visit formed part of the group’s humanitarian activities during Ramadan.

Speaking during a brief ceremony at the hospital on Saturday, March 14, 2026, Salifu explained that Majlis Ansarullah, an association of elder members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission made up of men aged 40 years and above was motivated by Islamic teachings that emphasise compassion and support for the vulnerable.

“As we observe the holy month of Ramadan, a period dedicated to worship, reflection and compassion, we felt it was important to visit this hospital to pray for the children receiving treatment here and extend a small gesture of support to them and their families,” he stated.

He noted that the purpose of the visit was to help settle medical bills for needy patients and assist with the cost of medications and laboratory tests that could delay treatment.

Salifu stressed that Islam strongly encourages believers to care for the poor and the sick, citing verses from the Holy Qur’an that urge Muslims to dedicate a portion of their wealth to the needy and the deprived.

Quoting Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:19), he reminded the gathering that “in their wealth there was a rightful share for the beggar and the deprived.”

He also cited Surah Al-Insan (76:8–9), which praises those who give to the needy, the orphan and the captive solely for the sake of Allah without expecting reward or gratitude.

According to him, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) also emphasised the importance of visiting and caring for the sick, describing it as a noble act that brings believers closer to God.

Salifu therefore urged Muslims and the public to extend support to hospitals and vulnerable patients, particularly during Ramadan, when acts of charity and compassion are highly encouraged.

“We have come not only to offer financial support but also to share prayers, encouragement and solidarity with the children receiving treatment here and their families,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of mothers at the hospital, a lactating mother, Deborah Adasu, expressed gratitude to the group for their generosity.

“On behalf of the people here, I want to say may Allah bless you so that next year you will do it bigger and better,” she said.

The Medical Superintendent of the hospital, Maame Yaa Nyarko, also thanked the group for the kind gesture and expressed appreciation for their support to needy patients.

She used the opportunity to call on individuals and organisations to emulate the example set by Majlis Ansarullah by supporting the hospital and vulnerable patients who struggle to pay for treatment.
