The release also stated that as this is the period where Muslims abstain from food and water in order to seek forgiveness from Allah, the PNC calls on them to pray for mother Ghana to be a better place for all.
Below is the full statement
RAMADAN MUBARAK
PNC wishes the entire Muslim Community a glorious and prosperous Ramadan, saying Ramandan Mubarak to all.
The Holy month of Ramadan is among the five pillars of Islam and a period Muslims all over the world purify their heart and soul, clean their mind and body by fasting and praying to Almighty Allaah so as to be righteous.
Quran, 2:183 says ‘Oh, you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn piety and righteousness’
Again, the Holy Month is for Muslims to dedicate themselves to self-sacrifice by abstaining from taking drink or food and some physical needs, seeking forgiveness from Allaah for their wrong doings and devoting themselves to Him.
The PNC solidarise with all Muslims and request them to say some prayers for our country, Ghana.
PNC: Service with honesty.
