Do not abandon the good lifestyles of Ramadan - Osofo Abdullah

Enyan Maim (C/R), Sept. 3, GNA – Osofo Adam Abdullah, Mankessim Circuit Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, has urged Muslims to uphold the good lifestyles exhibited during the Ramadan fasting at all times.

He said if Muslims could continue with the good habits exhibited during the fasting, Ghana would see peace and the social evils would be minimized.

Osofo Abdullah said this at the open-air prayer held by the Mankessim Circuit of the Ahmadis to end the fasting at the Enyan Maim School Park.

He said during the period people who were dead spiritually were revived into life.

Osofo Abdullah said Ramadan was a period of forgiveness where adherents of the religion were not permitted to revenge any wrong doing.

He said it was obligatory for Muslims to take 10 days to end the fasting and pray for mercy and spiritual prosperity since the 10 days were designated as a period of salvation.

He prayed for President J. E. A. Mills, the government and for peaceful elections next year.

Speaking to the GNA after the prayers, the Circuit President Shaibu Asiedu appealed to Ghanaians to be careful about their utterances as the nation was preparing for elections in 2012 in order not to disturb the peace the nation was enjoying.

He said insults and name calling must not be part of the campaign messages and urged politicians to base their campaign on issues.
