The Bissa Chief of Gomoa Fetteh has wished Bissa Muslims and all Muslims around the world a blessed Ramadan as they begin the month-long fasting in the Islamic Holy month.
Kir Mustapha Dawuda Lengani, in a special Ramadan message, has appealed to the Muslims in the Bissa fraternity to use the period of fasting to embrace the Zekula agenda
“The Holy month of Ramadan is here with us again and as the Muslims all over the world embark on this journey of purification, I extend my warm wishes to Bissa Muslims and all Muslims across the World,” he said.
“This is the period to reflect and embrace one another for a stronger Zekula as we pray for bless-filled Ramadan.
“Ramadan Kareem to every Muslim across the world.”
Muslims across the world on Tuesday began the 29 or 30 days of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, during which they avoid food and drink between dawn and dusk.
Considered to be a holy month, devotees fast and pray, and also engage in humanitarian activities and good deeds for the poor.

This annual observance is regarded as one of the five pillars of Islam and the month is believed to be the one in which the Holy Prophet Mohammed received his first Quranic revelation on ‘Laylat al-Qadr‘ — one of five odd-numbered nights that fall during the last ten days of Ramadan.
Eid al-Fitr takes place as the month of Ramadan draws to a close. The date is dependent on the sighting of the new moon. Once the sighting is confirmed, the festival begins.

The month of Ramadan is an exercise in self-restraint and self-discipline. It is observed as a way of coming closer to Allah, to physically and spiritually detoxify by getting rid of impulses and vices.
