In a remarkable show of national unity and religious harmony, Muslims joined their Christian brothers and sisters to celebrate Ghana’s National Thanksgiving Day on July 1, 2025.

The day, set aside to offer gratitude for peace, development, and God’s goodness over the nation, saw Ghanaians from all walks of life gathering at various locations across the country. Both Christians and Muslims lifted their voices together in songs of praise, worship, and prayer.

At the main event held in Accra, Islamic leaders were seen leading sections of the thanksgiving prayers, while choirs and praise teams from different Christian denominations filled the atmosphere with vibrant songs. The event symbolized the spirit of togetherness and tolerance that Ghana continues to uphold as one of Africa’s most peaceful democracies.

In cities like Kumasi, Tamale, and Takoradi, similar scenes played out as imams, pastors, government officials, and ordinary citizens stood side by side to thank God for the nation’s journey over the past year.

Speaking at the Accra event, one of the Muslim clerics noted, “We may have different ways of worship, but today we stand united as Ghanaians, giving thanks to the Almighty for preserving our land.”

This year’s National Thanksgiving Day not only reflected religious diversity but also demonstrated that when it comes to national progress, unity and gratitude know no boundaries.
