The Volta Regional Chief Imam, Alhaji Alpha Anas Haidu, has urged the Muslim community to promote peace, unity, and national development during Eid al-Adha celebrations held at the Nuriya Islamic school in Ho on Friday.
In his Eid message, Alhaji Haidu reminded congregants of the spiritual significance of Eid al-Adha, tracing it to Prophet Abraham’s obedience to God’s command. “The purpose of Eid al-Adha is to remind us of the obedience of our grandfather Abraham,” he explained.
The Chief Imam advocated for peace and coexistence among all residents, highlighting the link between peace, unity, and development. “My main message is to live in peace. Without peace, you cannot be united. Without unity, there is no development.”
Alhaji Haidu emphasized that Islam is a religion of peace, noting that individual character matters more than religious affiliation. He called on Muslims to live harmoniously with non-Muslims and be exemplary citizens.
The Volta Regional Police Commander, ACP Wisdom Akorli, commended the Muslim community for their cooperation and peaceful conduct during the celebrations, praising their efforts in promoting peace and national cohesion.
