The Office of the National Chief Imam has urged Ghanaians to renew their spiritual commitment alongside taking urgent action to safeguard the environment.
The statement, signed by the Executive Secretary to the Office of the National Chief Imam (Shaikh Dr Osman Nuhu Sharubutu), Osmanu Seidu, extended warm felicitations to Muslims in Ghana and across the globe following the successful completion of the fasting period of Ramadan.
Describing the holy month as a period of sacrifice, discipline and spiritual growth, the message praised believers for their steadfastness and devotion.
He also offered prayers for Allah’s acceptance of fasting, charity and other acts of worship, while invoking blessings, forgiveness and peace for the Muslim Ummah.
The statement marked the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr as not only a moment of joy, but also an opportunity for reflection and renewed responsibility.
Environment Central to Eid Reflections
A major focus of the message is the theme “Our Earth, Our Future,” which highlights environmental protection as a core religious and moral duty.
Drawing guidance from the Qur'an, the Office emphasised that the earth and its resources are signs of Allah’s greatness and a trust placed in the care of humanity.
The message pointed to Qur’anic teachings that emphasised the balance and harmony in creation, urging believers to reflect on their role as Khalifah — stewards responsible for preserving the natural world.
It noted that the earth has been provided as a source of sustenance for all living beings, with resources allocated in due measure. As such, humans are expected to manage these resources with wisdom, moderation and gratitude.
Strong Warning Against Environmental Harm
The Office raised concern over increasing environmental degradation, warning that many of the challenges facing the world today stem from human actions. It cited Qur’anic verses cautioning against corruption on land and sea, describing such destruction as a consequence of irresponsible behaviour.
In particular, the statement condemned illegal mining activities, widely known in Ghana as galamsey, as well as indiscriminate sand winning and deforestation. These practices, it said, pose serious threats to the country’s ecosystems, water bodies and long-term sustainability.
The message also criticised wastefulness and extravagance, stressing that Islam promotes responsible use of resources and discourages excess.
Call for Collective Responsibility
The Office of the National Chief Imam called on all citizens to actively participate in protecting the environment, stressing that stewardship is both a civic obligation and an expression of faith.
It urged Muslim leaders, scholars and community organisations to intensify public education on environmental conservation. Mosques and Islamic institutions were encouraged to lead advocacy efforts and promote sustainable practices within their communities.
The message further emphasised that genuine faith is reflected not only in worship, but also in everyday conduct toward others and the environment. It highlighted the Qur’anic teaching that societal change begins with individual transformation.
Prayers for Peace and Global Stability
Beyond environmental concerns, the statement addressed ongoing global conflicts, particularly in the Middle East and other regions experiencing unrest. It offered prayers for peace, reconciliation and relief for those affected by war and hardship.
Muslims were encouraged to uphold values of patience, unity, compassion and brotherhood, especially during times of global uncertainty
Message of Hope and Renewal
Osmanu Seidu reiterated Eid greetings and prayed for unity, prosperity and harmony within Ghana and beyond.
