President Mahama joins Muslim community for Iftar

President John Dramani Mahama on Monday March 16, 2026, joined members of the Muslim community for an iftar gathering at the Jubilee House, highlighting the values of compassion, forgiveness, and moral responsibility that underpin both faith and national life.

“As we observe Ramadan, we are also reminded of the importance of renewal and moral responsibility in our national life,” the President stated.

He emphasised that genuine faith must be reflected in one’s conduct toward others.

“If you say you are a true Muslim or a true Christian, and you are hard-hearted, unforgiving, wicked, or you harm your fellow human being, then you cannot call yourself a true Muslim or a true Christian,” he said.

The President also acknowledged the role of religious leadership in sustaining peace and unity in Ghana.

“I wish to acknowledge the leadership of the National Chief Imam and the Islamic clergy, whose wisdom and guidance continue to strengthen peace and unity in our nation,” he added.

President Mahama further described Ramadan as a period that inspires generosity, compassion, and solidarity among communities.
