Hajj Hassan Umar, the Chief Imam at Pipeline, has called on Ghanaians to seek peace and unity as they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, the festival marking the end of Ramadan. He emphasized that one of the main prayers Muslims offer after the month-long fasting is for peace and togetherness. “Here in Ghana, we pray that Allah grants us peace today.
Eid-ul-Fitr is a time for patience and understanding among all people, whether Muslim or Christian. We all worship one God, and without peace, nothing good can flourish,” he said.
Baba Moro, a community leader at Pipeline, also shared insights about the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr. He explained that the festival, also known as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a time for communal prayer, thanking God, and fostering gratitude. He further advised the public that certain practices, such as putting children in machines or rides around the community, are not part of Islamic teachings. “The Quran teaches that after fasting, we should gather to pray, thank God, and share meals with those in need, demonstrating love and compassion among ourselves,” he noted.
Community leaders encouraged everyone to embrace the true spirit of Eid—unity, charity, and mutual respect—beyond the rituals and celebrations.
