Malawi: President Banda Hosts Muslim Women

President Dr. Joyce Banda has called on Muslim women in the country to be united.

The president made this call on Monday at Sanjika Palace when she organized a dinner otherwise known as If-tar for the Muslim women. Dr. Banda told the women it was to her pleasure hosting the women.

"I thank Allah for giving me a chance to meet you Muslim women. It has always been my wish to host you," said the President.

The Head of State said she organized the dinner basing on what Prophet Muhammad said on giving to others who have nothing.

"If you give people who are fasting, you will be rewarded in heaven. God is allowing us to prosper so we have to give back to others.

"And having come from a Muslim background, I know the importance of Ramadan to the Muslim community and I found it deserving to hold this dinner with you," said Banda.

She also urged the women to pray hard for Allah's intervention in everything they are doing in their communities. She assured them that she would never in any way discriminate Muslims in her entire life.

In her remarks, National Coordinator for Muslim Women Organization, Asiyatu Lipenga appreciated the gesture by the president to host them to a dinner saying it was the first time for the Muslim women to be given such an audience in their lives.

She pledged to support the president and the good work she is doing. She said the President has brought unity among the Muslim women since the dinner brought together women from different mosques.

"Madam President, you are uplifting women, we now feel respected. We do not take this for granted. We thank you for recognizing Muslim women in the country. May the good Allah bless you," said Lipenga.

If-tar is a meal which is taken when the Muslims are breaking their fasting during the month of Ramadan.
