The ceremony, which took place on Wednesday, December 18, was attended by thousands of Muslims from across the region, including Dr. Bawumia&#8217;s running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, and several Members of Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Haroun, who passed away at the age of 74, was remembered for his leadership and dedication to the Muslim community. In his honor, Dr. Bawumia, the National Chief Imam Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, and other prominent figures visited the late Imam&#8217;s residence to offer prayers before the Janazah (pre-burial prayers).<\/p>\n<p>The Janazah was held at the Kumasi Central Mosque, which Dr. Bawumia had previously renovated and handed over to the mosque&#8217;s committee \u00b9. Thousands of Muslims gathered at the mosque to pay their respects to the late Imam, and following the prayers, Sheikh Abdul Mumin Haroun was laid to rest at the Tafo Cemetery in Kumasi.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony marked a solemn moment in the Ashanti Region, with the late Imam being remembered for his leadership and dedication to the Muslim community. Dr. Bawumia&#8217;s attendance at the funeral was a testament to his commitment to promoting interfaith harmony and respect in Ghana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is managed by the content creator and not GhanaWeb, its affiliates, or employees.
