THE Mufti, Shaban Mubajje, has advised Muslims to desist from using foul language during the month of Ramadhan, reports Halima Shaban and Yasin Kintu.
"As we enter the month of Ramadhan, we need to revisit our souls, deeds and utterances because it is upon these that a believer destroys his fast. I encourage you to fast and persuade your relatives and friends to fast as Ramadhan is the month of frequent good deeds," he said.
Addressing journalists at the new Uganda Muslim Supreme Council headquarters at the Gadhafi National Mosque yesterday, Mubajje said fasting was not self-torture but the temporary abstention from food and drink.
The headquarters were moved from the Old Kampala Mosque.

The Mufti urged Muslims to worship Allah, abide by his laws and resolve their differences peacefully.
Mubajje said the Gadhafi National Mosque would be officially opened by President Yoweri Museveni and Libyan President Col Moammar Gadhafi in October.
He also called for the speedy conclusion of the peace talks between the Government and the Lords Resistance Army rebels.
