Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has issued a heartfelt message to the Muslim community as they embark on the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is a time of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth for Muslims worldwide.
During this sacred time, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset, focusing on prayer, good deeds, and self-discipline. Governor Obaseki emphasized the importance of showing love, compassion, and good neighborliness during Ramadan, especially in light of the economic challenges many are facing.
In a statement marking the beginning of Ramadan, Governor Obaseki urged Muslims to use this time to care for one another, extend a helping hand to those in need, and strengthen bonds with friends and acquaintances. He emphasized the significance of showing kindness and support, particularly in these trying times.
As Muslims around the world observe Ramadan, Governor Obaseki’s message serves as a reminder of the values of Islam – love, compassion, and community. Let us all take this opportunity to reflect, connect, and spread positivity during this auspicious month.
