President John Dramani Mahama has called for increased religious harmony and peaceful coexistence among all faiths in Ghana.
Speaking at the 92nd Annual Jalsa Salana of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, Mahama emphasized the importance of mutual respect between religious communities, noting that the nation’s strength lies in its ability to foster dialogue and understanding across different belief systems.
Drawing inspiration from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s powerful motto, “Love for All, Hatred for None,” Mahama stressed that peace must be an active, collective effort.
He pointed out that in Ghana, where diverse religious groups coexist, it is vital to encourage a culture of tolerance and respect. The president acknowledged the critical role religious leaders play in shaping the national discourse and promoting harmony within their communities.
Mahama also highlighted the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, who emphasized peace as the foundation for thriving communities. In line with this, he pledged that his government would prioritize dialogue and consensus-building in decision-making processes, rejecting the divisive approach of unilateralism.
Mahama’s message was clear: only through collaboration and a shared vision of peace can Ghana overcome its challenges and continue its development.
Furthermore, he urged all Ghanaians to embody these values of love, unity, and respect in their daily lives, drawing on the wisdom found in the religious teachings of all faiths.
His call was for Ghanaians to unite under a common goal of a peaceful and prosperous nation.
