Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu celebrates Eid al-Adha with Muslim community at Beposo, calls for religious unity
Sheikh Dr. Amin Mohammed Osei Bonsu celebrated this year's Eid al-Adha festival with the Muslim community at Beposo in the Sekyere Central District of the Ashanti Region. He used the occasion to call for religious unity to promote national development. He stated, "On occasions like this, Christians even enjoy most of the meat we share more than Muslims, which symbolizes the peace, love, and unity that exist among us. We must continue to maintain that relationship."
Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu urged both Christians and Muslims to continue living peacefully and maintaining the spirit of unity. He advised the youth to stay away from drug abuse and other social vices, encouraging them to focus on building productive and responsible lives. He cautioned, "The youth are the future of this country, and they should not destroy their lives through substance abuse."
As part of the celebration, Sheikh Dr. Amin Bonsu slaughtered three cows and two sheep on the first day of the festival. He distributed the meat to residents of the Beposo community as a symbol of love, kindness, and compassion. He decided to hold this year's celebration in Beposo to extend support to vulnerable and needy persons within the community, saying, "Most often, I celebrate Eid in Accra, but this year I chose Beposo so that more vulnerable people can also benefit from the kindness and sharing that the Qur'an teaches." Thousands of residents thronged his residence to receive portions of the meat during the celebration.
