He mentioned that though Covid-19 had altered the manner in which Eid had been celebrated, there is every reason to be thankful to Allah.

“This is certainly different to the Eid celebrations we have experienced and accustomed to in the past. Despite all these changes, Eid remains the time of giving thanks for all the blessings in our lives, focusing on the sunnahs we can fulfil and reach out to those facing greater challenges.”

“We hope this our donation will go a long way to support the activities of the office of the National Chief Imam during these difficult times.” he added.

He concluded by encouraging the Muslim community to be adherent to the Covid-19 preventive protocols in every aspect of their social life.

Dr Sheikh Ostaz Ali Hassan Ali, Western Regional Chief Imam acknowledged the yearly support by the company to the Muslim fraternity and described it as a good brotherhood in building a stronger society.

He, therefore, appreciated the gesture and blessed the management and staff of MTN for the assistance.
