MONROVIA
(AA) – Grand Mufti Sheikh Abu Bakar Sumaworo said Muslim in Liberia
will observe the holy fasting month of Ramadan as of Sunday...
..
This year’s observance is putting special attention on sharing with the less fortunate, including offering prayers for the nation which has been plagued by the deadly Ebola virus.
Mufti Sumaworo is still hopeful that the outbreak would not prevent Liberian Muslims from travelling to the holy sites in Saudi Arabia.
“We pray that the Almighty Allah grants us mercy to travel to Mecca in the midst of Ebola in our country,” he said.
“We hope to send about five hundred people by the grace of Allah,” added the mufti.
