The Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency, Mrs. Imane Ouaadil, has hosted a special Iftar for Ghana’s clerics of the World's three major religions at her residence in Accra.
The Ramadan Iftar was attended by a representative of the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Mustapha Ibrahim, the Apostolic Nuncio to Ghana, Archbishop Msgr Henryk Mieczysław Jagodziński, and the Chief Rabbi of the Jewish community in Ghana, Yisroel Noah Majesky.
The three clerics spoke about their various beliefs and eulogized one another’s virtues - calling for the strengthening of interfaith dialogue among the three Abrahamic faiths.
The interfaith clerics welcomed one another- each sitting on the dining table to break the fast with their Muslim brothers.
They shared pleasantries as they discussed global peace and the virtues of fasting in the Holy month of Ramadan.
In her address, the Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Mrs Ouaadil said Ramadan is a period Muslims around the world recommit to their faith and eschew all vices following days of discipline with nights of gratitude for the gifts that Allah bestows.
She add that Ramadan, with its attributes of fasting, prayer and alms giving, is also a month for strengthening the spiritual bonds that Muslims, Christians and Jews share.
On his part, Sheikh Mustapha Ibrahim, President of the Ghana branch of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulemas stated that Islam , Judaism and Christianity are religions that are recognized by one another.
Ramadan he said, is an important month in Islam and a month which the Holy Qur'an was revealed.
