On the occasion of Eid-Al-Fitr 2026, the National Chief Imam, Shaikh Dr Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, has extended his congratulations to the Muslim fraternity while issuing a call for spiritual reflection and national unity.

In a message released on March 19, 2026, His Eminence emphasised that the conclusion of the Holy Month of Ramadan should serve as more than just a period of celebration. He urged Muslims to ensure their festivities remain "within the bounds of decency, modesty, and legality".

The Grand Imam explained that the true essence of fasting, as outlined in the Quran, is for believers to attain a state of piety. He stressed that this divine reward must be visible in daily conduct and should "mould us as people whose behaviours conform to the norms of society and the laws of the state".

“The quantity of spiritual cleansing acquired in the Holy Month of Ramadan is meaningless unless it has the capacity to guarantee the quality of attitudinal transformation in the interest of society,” the Revered Imam stated.

In his counsel, the Chief Imam urged all Ghanaians, regardless of faith, to prioritise the values of patriotism, humanitarianism, and collectivism. He highlighted the importance of these virtues in building a secular state defined by cultural diversity and interfaith harmony.

As the festivities began, His Eminence offered prayers for several critical global and regional issues, including justice throughout the world, peace in the Middle East, stability across the African continent and prosperity for the Republic of Ghana.
