Ho: Muslims pray for peace in Middle East, Ghana

Members of the Muslim community in Ho today (March 20) offered prayers for peace in the Middle East, Ghana and the Asogli Traditional Area as they marked Eid-ul-Fitr.

The Volta Regional Imam, Alhaji Muniru Ali Mohamed, in a sermon at the Ho Police Training School, entreated Muslims to show tolerance and love towards their neighbours even after Ramadan.

He said it was important to extend the spiritual discipline gained during fasting to all and sundry in the form of peace, goodwill and harmony within communities.

The Regional Imam urged Muslims to sustain the values of compassion and unity, stressing that the true essence of Ramadan lies in translating faith into positive action in society.

The Ho Municipal Chief Executive, Stephen Adom, said the government had outlined development plans for Zongo communities in the municipality, particularly in the area of educational infrastructure.

“For the projects to take off and progress smoothly, we must uphold the peace and live in unity all the time,” he added.

Some traditional rulers from the Asogli Traditional Area were present at the prayers.
