Doherty said, “The Ramadan fast has afforded faithfuls the opportunity to reconnect with their creator and extend the right hand of fellowship to fellow men.”
He reminded all and sundry that “as we celebrate, we should not forget the lessons learnt, to wit, the spirit of piety, alms-giving, of compassion and love for fellow men.”
He stated that the period is a time for “Blessed Celebration” a period to propagate Love, tolerance and camaraderie.
He advised all Muslim faithfuls not to allow the 30 days fasting period go in vain, urging them to seize the opportunity of this period to ensue mutual respect and hence learn more to tolerate each other, work together and be able to in unity, harness the abundant resources of our dear nation.
