Ramadan: Saudi Ambassador to Ghana urges Muslims to adjust to COVID-19 changes

The Saudi Arabia Ambassador to Ghana, H.E Meshal Hamdan Al-Rogi, has urged Muslims to adapt to the changes the outbreak of the coronavirus has brought to Islamic worship, particularly during this period of Ramadan.

According to him, he empathizes with the Muslim community who are unable to go to the mosque to observe Taraweeh prayers and not break the fast with friends and neighbours.

Meshal Hamdan Al-Rogi is also calling on Muslims “to stand together in solidarity and help one another to observe this Ramadan fast amidst our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.”

In his Ramadan address to Ghanaians, the Ambassador mentioned that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, had, as it does before the beginning of the annual Ramadan Fast, donated 50 tons of date fruits to the country.

He also announced a donation of US$ 500 million from the Saudi government to the World Health Organization to help in the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected over three million people, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU).
