The Muslim community came together to celebrate the conclusion of Ramadan
The month-long fasting period of Ramadan came to an end on Monday, March 31, 2025, marking the celebration of Eid ul-Fitr, one of the most significant occasions in the Islamic calendar.
The Muslim community came together to celebrate the conclusion of this sacred month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection.
Eid ul-Fitr provides an opportunity for Muslims to give to the less privileged, strengthen relationships with loved ones, and express gratitude to Allah for a successful month of fasting and devotion.
GhanaWeb interviewed several Muslim worshippers gathered at Black Star Square in Accra, where President John Dramani Mahama was in attendance for the special Eid prayers, to understand the significance of the occasion.
Some Muslims shared their thoughts on what Eid ul-Fitr means to them and how they plan to celebrate the day.
One worshiper explained, “Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, and it is a festival for us to celebrate the completion of fasting, bond with family, and enjoy moments of joy and togetherness.”
Another worshiper expressed gratitude for the public holiday, stating, “We thank Allah that the President has given us two days off.”
The nationwide holiday allows many Muslims to spend quality time with their loved ones, partake in communal meals, and reflect on their spiritual journey during Ramadan.
Many of them also mentioned that they use this opportunity to visit friends and relatives, further strengthening the sense of unity that Eid seeks to promote.
Ramadan, a period of fasting, is seen by many Muslims as a time of spiritual renewal and self-purification.
“The Ramadan season helps us get closer to our Creator and also improves our overall well-being,” another Muslim shared.
