Malawi Muslims pray for economic recovery, peace during Ramadan

Malawian Muslims will pray for an economic recovery and peaceful co-existence between all faiths during the holy month of Ramadan, a top Muslim imam told Anadolu Agency.

“We will be praying against any economic crisis,” Sheikh Abdul Razzak Fattani, executive director for Islamic Relief Agency (IRA) and member of the Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) said. “We want Malawi to recover fully from what it has been through the past two years.”

“We are calling for religious co-existence and tolerance among leaders as well as for the unity of the country to continue to flourish,” Fattani said.

Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, starts on Thursday.

The country has a large number of Muslims in the south. Official statistics show that Muslims account for about 12 percent of the population, but MAM puts the figure at about 36 percent of the nation’s 14 million citizens.

“Throughout the holy month, during the breaking of fast, Muslims will share gifts and food with the less privileged, the sick and the elderly,” he said.

Hastings Maponya, a young practicing Muslim, said he has prepared well for Ramadan.

“Since April, sheikhs in the country have been preaching about the importance of Ramadan and how we will observe it this year,” Maponya told Anadolu Agency.

During Ramadan, IRA and other Islamic organizations have lined up a number of events to donate items to Malawi’s prisons, hospitals, orphanages and schools.

“We will donate to all in need, whether Muslim or Christian, to demonstrate to others that Islam is a religion of peace,” Fattani said.
