Former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has extended warm Eid al-Adha greetings to Muslims in Ghana and around the world, urging renewed commitment to the values of sacrifice, compassion, and national unity.
In a goodwill message to mark the important Islamic festival, Dr Bawumia emphasised the spiritual significance of Eid al-Adha as a powerful reminder of faith, obedience, and selflessness in both personal lives and society at large.
“On this sacred occasion, we are reminded of the power of sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering faith,” he wrote on Facebook.
He called on Ghanaians to use the occasion to show greater kindness and strengthen bonds across religious and political divides, stressing the need for unity in Ghana’s diverse society.
“May the spirit of Eid al-Adha inspire us to give selflessly, uphold compassion, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people,” he added.
Dr Bawumia also offered prayers for peace and prosperity, expressing hope that the celebration would bring blessings to every home across the country.
“As we celebrate, may Allah accept our sacrifices and grant peace, prosperity, and blessings to every home,” he prayed.
Eid al-Adha, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah, before a ram was divinely provided as a substitute. The festival is observed with prayers, acts of charity, and the sharing of meat with the less privileged.
