The Minister of the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has urged Muslim law students to approach the legal profession with strong Islamic values, ensuring moral guidance in their practice.

Muntaka Mubarak, who is also the Member of Parliament for Asawase, spoke during the Grand Iftar for Muslim students at the Ghana School of Law, Kumasi Campus, on Sunday, March 15, 2026, where he joined them to break the Ramadan fast.

As the Guest of Honour, he encouraged the students to let Islamic ethics guide their decisions in legal matters.

“By allowing your faith to shape your professional conduct, you can help improve perceptions of the legal profession within the Muslim community,” he said, noting that the field is sometimes not held in high esteem.

Reflecting on his own student experience at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Mubarak Muntaka recalled the challenges Muslim students faced in securing space for congregational prayers.

He said Friday (Jumu’ah) prayers were initially held at the Great Hall, amid several obstacles, before the university eventually allowed organised congregational prayers on campus.

Those efforts, he said, ultimately led to the establishment of the KNUST Central Mosque, now a hub for the Muslim community on campus.

The Interior Minister concluded by offering prayers for departed souls and urging students to uphold ethical conduct as they advance in the legal profession.
