May Allah guide us through the forthcoming elections with success – Mahama

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has sent his best wishes to Muslims around Ghana on this, the eve of Eid-ul-Adha, which falls on Sunday, June 16.

Eid-ul-Adha is a major Islamic holiday that honors Prophet Ibrahim’s enduring devotion to Allah, demonstrated by his willingness to offer his son Ismail as a sacrifice. Just before the sacrifice, Allah, in a merciful turn of events, intervened and replaced Ismail with a ram.

Prophet Ibrahim’s loyalty and his unwavering resolve to carry out Allah’s will were put to the test by this divine command. Thus, it is fitting that Eid ul-Adha be called the festival of sacrifice.

In his Saturday Eid Mubarak speech, Mr. Mahama urged Muslims to be compassionate toward their loved ones, the underprivileged, and orphans.

Additionally, he sent his warmest regards to Sheik Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, the esteemed Chief Imam.

In addition, the NDC flagbearer asked Muslims to pray for him and the party in the approaching elections in December.

“Today is a joyous occasion, Eid Mubarak to you all. May Allah accept our supplications. May Allah see us through next year. May Allah grant us long life. Today, as I mentioned, is a day for celebration, and we should remember to extend our care to the poor, orphans, and loved ones. May Allah accept our prayers.”

“…May Allah fulfil all our heart’s desires. To those who have completed the Hajj, may Allah ensure their safe return. May Allah continue to bless our nation, Ghana, with peace. May Allah guide us through the forthcoming elections with success. On this occasion, I also seek your prayers that Allah will grant me victory,” Mr Mahama stated.
