Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has extended warm wishes to Muslims in Ghana and across the world on the celebration of Eid-ul-Adha, urging citizens to embrace the values of sacrifice, compassion, and unity associated with the holy festival.
In a goodwill message shared to commemorate the occasion, Dr. Bawumia reflected on the spiritual significance of Eid-ul-Adha, one of the most important celebrations in the Islamic calendar.
According to him, the sacred occasion serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, obedience, and selflessness in the lives of believers and society as a whole.
“On this sacred occasion, we are reminded of the power of sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering faith,” the former Vice President wrote on Facebook.
Dr Bawumia further encouraged Ghanaians to use the period to show kindness to one another and strengthen national unity regardless of religious or political differences.
“May the spirit of Eid-ul-Adha inspire us to give selflessly, uphold compassion, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people.”
The former Vice President also prayed for peace, prosperity, and blessings for families across the country as Muslims prepare to observe the festival through prayers, sacrifice, and acts of charity.
“As we celebrate, may Allah accept our sacrifices and grant peace, prosperity, and blessings to every home,” he said.
Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah’s command before a ram was provided in his place.
The celebration is marked by prayers, the slaughtering of animals, sharing with the needy, and gatherings among families and communities.
