Muslims in Kabale District have been encouraged to uphold their religious principles and strengthen their bond with Allah throughout the remaining days of Ramadan.
This urging was expressed by Sheik Ibrahim Byomuhangi, who serves as the County Sheikh for Ndorwa and Kabale Municipality, during the Juma prayers held at Kirigime Mosque in Kabale Municipality. Sheikh Byomuhangi, who also serves as the Imam of Esso Mosque, stressed the importance of refraining from activities that contradict Islamic teachings, such as backbiting, lying, gossiping, arguments, and engaging in marital relations during fasting hours.
Instead, he promoted the recitation of the Quran to attain spiritual rewards from Allah. Additionally, Muslims were reminded to concentrate on the core pillars of Ramadan: prayer, fasting, and spiritual introspection. Ramadan, which began early last month, is set to conclude on April 9, 2024.
Meanwhile, in the Christian community, Reverend Fr. Lubein Mubangizi, the Pastoral Coordinator of Kabale Diocese, has urged Christians to demonstrate compassion towards the less privileged and embrace forgiveness during the Easter season.
Speaking following the Way of the Cross procession at Christ the King Church Kabale in Kabale Municipality, Fr. Mubangizi emphasized the significance of Easter as a time for reflecting on Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for humanity. He encouraged Christians to use Christ’s resurrection as motivation for personal growth, advocating for repentance, love, and forgiveness regardless of political, religious, or other differences.
