Sunyani, Aug. 11, GNA – Muslim women have
been cautioned to stop the wearing of wig-caps when attending prayers for the
Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr celebrations and other prayer gatherings.

This is because “Wig-caps fixing and other
outfits that seems immoral are against the will of Almighty Allah and the
teachings of Islam”.

Alhaji Baba Seidu, the deputy Chief Imam for
the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regions gave the caution when led prayers to
commence this year’s Eid ul-Adha celebration by Moslems in the Sunyani
Municipality on Sunday at the Jubilee Park.

Alhaji Seidu said the Eid ul-Adha festival
recalled to mind the ancient divine directive for ‘Ibraham’ (Abraham) to offer
‘Issah’ (Isaac) as a sacrificial lamb to Allah and which he obeyed.

Hence one major significance of the occasion
is the reminder of an obligation on all Muslims to renew their covenant of
faith by demonstrating obedience to God as well as love, kindness and respect
towards one another, he explained.

Mr Siaka Stevens, the Deputy Bono Regional
Minister stressed the importance of education, saying that no progress could be
made in all aspects of life in the society without the promotion of both formal
and informal education.

Mr. Stevens, also the Member of Parliament
for Jaman North therefore implored Moslem parents and guardians to educate
their children and wards to avoid engaging in social vices and rather take
education serious as vital tool for successful adult lives.

Alhaji Sheikh Umar Abdul Kadir, the Chief
Imam for the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regions slaughtered a ram to signify the
celebration of the festival and also led an intercessory prayer for the peace
and progress of the nation.
