President George Manneh Weah has reaffirmed his Government’s unwavering support, commitment to the Islamic Community and to the promotion of religious tolerance here, in his message wishing the entire Muslim Community a Happy Eid Mubarak.
The Executive Mansion says in a statement issued Thursday, 14 June that as the Islamic Community climaxes a month-long fasting and sacred encounter with Allah, President Weah cannot emphasize enough the longstanding contributions the Islamic Community has made to the society, thus reaffirming his Government’s unwavering support and commitment to the Islamic Community and to the promotion of religious tolerance.
In respect of the sacred nature of the day to the Islamic Faith, the President informs all Muslims within the employ of the Government of Liberia that they are at liberty to take this day off from work at no repercussion to them, as they join their Islamic brothers and sisters to celebrate the joyous and festive Eid Mubarak, the statement adds.
“It is the hope and prayer of the President that the month-long Ramadan period will yield bountiful blessings for the Nation as we work collectively towards a prosperous and better Liberia,” Mr. Weah is quoted as saying.
