The Office of the National Chief Imam has urged Ghanaians to renew their spiritual commitment while taking urgent action to safeguard the environment.
In a statement signed by Osmanu Seidu on behalf of Sheikh Dr Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, the Office extended warm Eid-ul-Fitr greetings to Muslims in Ghana and across the globe following the successful completion of Ramadan.
The message described the holy month as a period of sacrifice, discipline and spiritual growth, commending believers for their steadfastness and devotion.
It also offered prayers for Allah’s acceptance of fasting, charity and other acts of worship, while invoking blessings, forgiveness and peace for the Muslim Ummah.
The statement noted that Eid-ul-Fitr is not only a time of joy but also an opportunity for reflection and renewed responsibility.
Environment Central To Eid Reflections
A major highlight of the message was the theme “Our Earth, Our Future,” which underscores environmental protection as both a moral and religious duty.
Drawing from the teachings of the Qur’an, the Office emphasised that the earth and its resources are signs of Allah’s greatness and a trust placed in the care of humanity.
It further urged believers to embrace their role as stewards (Khalifah) responsible for preserving the natural world, noting that resources have been provided in due measure and must be managed with wisdom, moderation and gratitude.
