Mahama Bolsters Zakat and Sadaqa Trust Fund with Generous Donation at National Muslim Conference
Former President John Mahama has demonstrated his commitment to supporting the growth of Islam in Ghana by making a significant donation to the Zakat and Sadaqa Trust Fund during the 4th Annual National Muslim Conference. The donation, which included a 7-seater car and 6 motorcycles, was made in the presence of His Eminence the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, and other distinguished members of the Muslim community.
The Zakat and Sadaqa Trust Fund, a prominent Muslim organisation in Ghana, plays a crucial role in mobilising resources from various sources such as alms, Zakat, and donations to contribute to the development of Islam in the country. The organisation utilises these resources to support a wide range of initiatives, including education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, and the promotion of Islamic values.
The 4th Annual National Muslim Conference, a gathering of key figures from the Ghanaian Muslim community, served as the platform for Mahama’s generous contribution. As the Special Guest of Honour, he addressed the conference, emphasising the importance of unity and collaboration within the Muslim community. His speech resonated with the attendees, particularly his call for collective efforts to uplift the nation and address the challenges she faces.
The donation of the 7-seater car and 6 motorcycles is a testament to Mahama’s belief in the vital work undertaken by the Zakat and Sadaqa Trust Fund. The vehicles will undoubtedly aid the organisation in carrying out its mandate effectively. The donation will enable the Trust Fund to reach out to more individuals and communities, facilitating the delivery of essential services and resources to those in need.
The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu who received the donations expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Mahama for his invaluable contribution and prayed for him. He praised the former President’s commitment to supporting the Muslim community and underscored the significance of such gestures in fostering a sense of unity and solidarity.
The donation also serves as a powerful symbol of the close relationship between former President John Dramani Mahama and the Muslim community in Ghana. It showcases his recognition of the crucial role played by Islamic organisations in the nation’s development.
Mahama’s donation has been lauded by members of the Muslim community, who see it as a testament to his respect for their faith and a demonstration of his commitment to the well-being of the community. The gesture is expected to further strengthen the bond between the Muslim community and the former President, solidifying his reputation as a strong advocate for interfaith harmony and inclusivity.
The 4th Annual National Muslim Conference was a resounding success, fostering dialogue, promoting unity, and highlighting the importance of collective action within the Muslim community. Mahama’s generous donation, alongside the other key initiatives discussed at the conference, will undoubtedly contribute to the continued progress and development of Islam in Ghana.
The Conference served as a catalyst for constructive dialogue and action-oriented strategies. With the support of key figures like H.E. John Mahama and the commitment of the entire Muslim community, Ghana’s Muslim community is poised to continue its journey of growth and development. The Zakat and Sadaqa Trust Fund, bolstered by the recent donation, is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in this endeavour.
