President John Dramani Mahama, on Thursday, February 19, 2026, called on Muslims both at home and abroad to be compassionate as they embark on a month-long Ramadan fast.
According to him, the period should be used to reflect on the need to embrace discipline and generosity toward the less fortunate in society.
In his 2026 Ramadan message, President Mahama said, “As you break your fast each evening with family and friends, remember that the true beauty of Ramadan lies not just in abstaining from food, but in the discipline, compassion, and generosity we show to all, especially to those less fortunate.”
President Mahama, who wished the Muslim community well during the period on behalf of the First Lady, described the period as a social one.
“As we stand at the threshold of this blessed month of Ramadan, Lordina and I extend our warmest greetings to you and your families. Ramadan is truly a special time; a month of reflection, renewal, and coming together as one community,” he said.
He further added, “As you begin your fast, may your hearts be purified and your imān strengthened. May Allah, the Most Merciful, grant you good health, peace of mind, and abundant mercies throughout these thirty days.”
President Mahama said while it is his desire for their hearts to be purified and their prayers answered, it is incumbent on the Muslim community to ensure peace in the country.
“May your prayers be answered, your good deeds be accepted, and may this Ramadan bring you closer to your Creator and to one another. Let us use this holy month to strengthen the bonds of unity, love, and peace in our communities and across our beloved Ghana,” he stressed.
