John Dramani Mahama on Monday joined members of the Muslim community for an Iftar gathering, using the occasion to emphasise compassion, forgiveness and moral responsibility in both religious and national life.
Speaking during the event, the President said the observance of Ramadan serves as a reminder of the need for personal and collective renewal. He noted that the principles of faith should be reflected in everyday conduct.
“If you say you are a true Muslim or a true Christian, and you are hard of heart, unforgiving, wicked, or you kill your fellow human being, then you cannot call yourself a true Muslim or a true Christian,” he said.
Mahama also highlighted the importance of religious leaders in maintaining peace and unity across the country. He commended the leadership of National Chief Imam and the broader Islamic clergy for their continued role in fostering harmony.
He added that Ramadan inspires generosity, compassion and solidarity among communities, urging citizens to uphold these values beyond the fasting period.
