President of the Federal Sharia Courts of Ethiopia, Sheikh Mubarak Mohamed has urged the entire public in general and Ethiopian Muslims in particular to support the efforts of the government in maintaining the peace and stability of the country.
In an exclusive interview with ENA, Sheikh Mubarak Mohamed said that Muslims should appreciate the blessing of peace because Islam preaches peace and they should refrain from destructive deeds.
Everyone should be the guardian of his country’s peace and stability, he said, adding that the government is working to achieve lasting peace in Ethiopia.
Therefore, he added that the Ethiopian people in general and Muslims in particular should support the efforts of the government to promote peace in the country.
The 1444th Eid al-Fitr is celebrated in Ethiopia at a time when the government is implementing the peace agreement which it signed with the TPLF, creating peace for Muslims to feel safe and celebrate Eid al-Fitr in all parts of the country.
He pointed out that the feast of Eid al-Fitr in Ethiopia is celebrated with joy and pleasure, where Muslims gather every year to perform prayers after the month of Ramadan.
The president noted that Islam commands believers to be mindful of brotherhood, love and giving alms to the poor and the needy.
This norm must continue even after fasting, he said.
