The leader of the Tijaniyya Movement of Algeria has urged Muslims in Ghana to continue to live and co-exist peacefully and harmoniously with other religious bodies in the country.
The scholar, Sheikh Said Ammar, said he was amazed to notice the manner in which Ghanaians inter-relate with each other peacefully regardless of religious affiliations without any skirmishes.
The Algerian national made these observations during a an interactions with a cross section of journalists in Accra as part of his reciprocal visit on the Head of the Ghana Tijaniyya Movement, Sheikh Abul Faila.
He said the relationship between the Tijaniyya movements of both Algeria and Ghana dates back to the reigns of their respective fathers when Sheikh Abdulai Maikano , paid a working visit to Algeria.
He said currently , the Tijanniya movement is flourishing and spreading at a faster rate as it now has more than 300 million membership worldwide and that they have achieved greatly as a movement.
On the success of the movement, the Algerian cleric mentioned that they have built educational facilities from the basic to tertiary levels as well as hospitals in countries such as Sudan, and Darfur.
We have also witness the acceptance of Islam by non-muslims at a higher rate worldwide , whilst ensuring peaceful inter-relationship amongst Muslims and other religious bodies globally.
Responding to a question on the plans they have for the Movement in future, he said they have better plans and projects which are far advanced for the movement but he however remained tight lipped on the kind of projects they have put in place for the future.
He advised the Tijaniyya followers and Muslims in Ghana generally to be law abiding citizens so as to contribute their quota for national development.
