He noted that, Allah wanted to test the faith of Ibrahim and for that matter the great lesson Muslims must deduce from it is that though challenges may come but they must remember and stay committed to Allah to overcome them.
According to him, most of Allah’s blessings come from this occasion and that the affluent ones among them must show through slaughter of cows, sheep, goat among others and distribute to the poor.
He thanked Kaasehene for his gesture and pledged that he will continue to seek and work closely with him at all endeavors.
Making the presentation, the Gyaasehene of Kaase Nana Akwasi Sampene on behalf of Kaasehene said, the presentation of the cow was to show that there is no boundary between Kaase traditional council and Muslims in the area.
