The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje, has advised the Muslim community to embrace the matter of working hard, saving and investing to be able to attain their personal goals and also support economic growth.

The Mufti made the call while receiving iftar food items donated by Diamond Trust Bank at Uganda Muslim Supreme Council in Old Kampala.

“Muslims and all Ugandans must learn to work diligently instead of opting for dubious ways to earn a living. Through working hard, you will be able to create more wealth and support the growth of the economy,” Mubajje added.

He commended for such a good gesture that seeks to strengthen ties between the bank and the Muslim community.

He further asked all the district Khadi to embrace DTB products and services revealing that all the mosques have been given DTB accounts to use countrywide.

Speaking on behalf of DTB, Andrew Musanje, the Head of Branches and Channels expressed DTB's commitment to inclusive financial services to all. 

He affirmed DTB's commitment to support the Muslim community during seasons like Ramadan.

“As DTB, we have always been giving back to the Muslim community and today we have decided to come to Old Kampala Muslim Mosque, one of our business partners to give back to them,” he said.

Yesterday President Yoweri Museveni hosted the Muslim community for an Iftar dinner at State House, Entebbe, where he congratulated the Muslim faithful for successfully moving this far in the Ramadan season.

Some of the items donated include rice, baking flour, sugar, maize flour and cooking oil among others.
