The Leadership framework proposed two years ago entails a well structured organogram which would be followed in selecting national imams by all to prevent conflicts.

This was contained in a statement issued in Accra by Hajj Abdel-Manna Abdel-Rahman, the General Secretary of COMOG, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra. It said this was important as this would help ensure stability and peace in the Muslim communities.

It, however, congratulated Muslims in the country and around the world for being fortunate to be part of this year’s Ramadan. The Month of Ramadan is a period that Muslims seek piety, ask forgiveness from Allah, foster closer relationship with people of all faiths and reflect on the future of the Muslim ummah.

The statement said, as Muslims go through 29 or 30 days of fasting, the leadership of COMOG urges them to make effective use of the period by forgiving each other and respecting their rights.

 “We are particularly concerned about the use of loud speakers during mid night prayers, especially in religiously diverse communities. While the long hours of devotion prayers in the depth of night is commendable, doing so with excessive noise and inconvenience to non-Muslims neighbours is clearly against the teachings of Islam,” it stated.

It called on Muslims nationwide to pray for mother Ghana, the President and the government to enable them deliver on their mandate.
