O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may learn self-restraint (Taqwa). (Quran 2:183) As our brothers and sisters in the Islamic faith have deprived themselves of the comforts of this world to achieve greater devotion to the Creator and draw closer to the Maker, we celebrate their sacrifices. The essence of Ramadan which is learning Taqwa which is more than self-restraint allows a level of God-consciousness which endows the Muttaqi to be aware of the presence of Allah in every moment of his/her life. It is my hope that the virtues of Ramadan would transcend the month and bring a sense of duty to our Nation. A collective desire to achieve a Better Ghana and contribute our quotas to this goal. I pray that this sacrifice would lead to a lot more decency and tolerance in our political discourse and our relationship with our fellow humans. May the sacrifices and prayers of Ramadan bring healing to our Nation and restore us to a loving, hospitable people once again. Happy Eid Mubarak. Signed Sam Dzata George.
