Muslims across the country have been urged to take seriously the Zakat al-Fitr, the six days fasting after the main fast and the show of charity as they constitute two important traditions of the faith.
Zakat al-Fitr signifies purification of fasting and ensures that everyone celebrate the holiday with an 'open arm' by providing food for the needy.
This was contained in a series of messages delivered by the different sects of the faith to congratulate all Muslims in the country for a successful fasting period.
In his statement, Sheikh Abdul Wadudi Haruna, the President of the Tijjaniya Muslims of Ghana, thanked Allah for his guidance and blessings throughout the fasting period.
