AN ISLAMIC educationist and theologian, Sheikh Ishaak Nuamah has asked Muslims to endeavour to keep their environment clean.
This, he said, would go a long way to prevent the outbreak of communicable diseases in their communities.
He noted that the maintenance of good environmental practices were in consonance with the ideals of Allah and remained a cornerstone of the Islamic faith. He consequently urged them to live by this ideal in practical ways to ensure that they are living in accordance with what the Quran directs.
Sheikh Nuamah gave the advice when he addressed the Muslim community at a public education campaign held in collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana Limited in Ho, the Volta regional capital.
In an address, the Volta Regional Environmental Sanitation Supervisor, Philip Anim advised residents of Ho to constantly clear chocked gutters in the area to complement efforts by Zoomlion to rid the environment of filth and stench.
He further advised food vendors to seek medical authorization before practicing their trade and enjoined communities to regulate the movement of stray animals since most of them were agents of disease.
Butchers, he recommended, must ensure that slaughtered animals were inspected before selling them to the public.
He also used the occasion to introduce some of Zoomlion's services. He encouraged the people to purchase some of the company's mobile toilets and not hesitate to visit the offices of Zoomlion for advice on sanitation any time they want.
