THE Tamale branch of Melcom group of companies limited has presented quantities of food items to the Tamale Central Mosque to support the congregation in their ongoing fasting obligation.
The items included sugar, rice, cooking oil, tea and milk.
According to the Tamale Branch Manager of Melcom, Mr Rizwan Ahmad Khan, the donation, which was the first of its kind to the mosque, formed part of Melcom's social responsibility.
He stated that Tamale was predominantly a Muslim community and it was for that reason that it found it necessary to support the Muslim Umma in fulfilling one of their religious obligations.
The manager promised to extend the gesture to other mosques in the metropolis in future.
Mr Khan expressed appreciation to the people of the metropolis for the continuous patronage of their goods which he described as affordable and of quality.
“At the moment, we are refurbishing the shop to make it more comfortable and congenial to shop as this is in line with our vision of always satisfying our customers needs,” he stated.
The Chief Imam of the mosque, Alhaji Abdul-Salam Ahmed, expressed appreciation to the company for the gesture and pledged to ensure the fair distribution of the items.
He advised Muslims to use the holy month of Ramadan to reflect on their past deeds, pray for forgiveness and chart a new course of life devoid of negative tendencies.
