Dr Ephraim Avea Nsoh

Wa, Aug. 8, GNA – Dr. Ephraim Avea Nsoh, the Upper West Regional Minister, has appealed to the Regional Chief Imam and the Muslim leadership in Wa to use time tested practices of Islam to select an Imam for the Zongo Community in the town.

He said an Imam was a spiritual leader whose selection should be peaceful and devoid of rancour to enable him to lead his community as Allah requires of him.

Dr. Nsoh made the appeal when he joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim community at their prayer ground in Wa to mark the end of the Ramadan.

He also appealed to the leaders of the various religious groups within the Islamic religion in Wa to religiously guide the utterances, behaviour and actions of their followers to live together in harmony.

“One unique thing I have observed among our Muslim brothers and sisters in this country is their love for peace. All the Muslim sects preach and practice peace and that is what has kept us together over the years and we are not experiencing turbulence as is happening in some countries,” he said.

He appealed to them to remember the country in their daily prayers.

Maulvi Abdul Hamid Tahir, the Regional Missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission who led the prayers thanked Allah for giving all Muslims good health and the courage to go through the Ramadan successfully.

He prayed for the nation by asking Allah to grant the nation sustainable peace so that development would thrive and conditions would become even better for the ordinary person.

Maulvi Tahir pleaded with Allah to let his will be done in the midst of the numerous and significant challenges facing the country so that His Children would continue to worship Him in peace and harmony.
