Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28693, member: 2262"] Ahmed Ibrahim from the Ministry of Local Government shared news about President Mahama's plans for national prayer events. The President wants groups from all Muslim backgrounds to work together on a National Prayer Service. He also asked Christian church members to help create a similar event for their faith communities. Ibrahim talked about this when he visited Muslim leaders last Friday, March 14, where his team brought gifts as part of their work supporting peace between religions. Ibrahim and his team stopped by to see several important Muslim leaders, including the National Chief Imam and leaders from the Al-Suna, Ahmadiyya, and Shia communities. They brought bags of rice, sugar, and money for each group during the Ramadan season. The Minister listened to these religious leaders' worries about how some schools block Muslim students from practicing their faith properly. Ibrahim stressed that Ghana must keep its tradition of respecting different religions. He heard from Muslim leaders who want help fixing problems where Muslim kids cannot pray or practice their faith at certain schools. The Minister promised he would talk with education officials and peace groups about finding answers that work for everyone. He plans to start these talks right after Ramadan ends. The Minister explained that President Mahama deeply believes in the importance of faith in running the country. That belief led him to ask the ministry to create special prayer days for both major religions. Ibrahim mentioned they already started reaching out to religious groups but would finish organizing the committees after Ramadan ends. These committees will then plan how the national prayer events should happen. [/QUOTE]
