Muslim youth have been urged to resist being coerced into political vigilantism, but rather concentrate on developing skills and abilities to contribute positively to society.
Apart from risking death and injury, he said there was nothing else to gain from such acts.
President of the Ghana Academy of Muslim Professionals, Alhaji Yakubu Anderson, said this in Accra, following a Ramadan health walk and lecture by the Academy.
Touching on the walk and health screening he said, the Ramadan was supposed to ensure both the spiritual and physical well-being of Muslims.
Alhaji Anderson said when the two major components of the human being were intact, that enabled a person to attain greatness in any venture and the exercise was the first of its kind, and would be repeated yearly.
Issah Sumaila, a registered Dietician, advised Muslims to pay particular attention to their food intake during the fasting period.
He said when breaking the fast, people should avoid taking in just any kind of food in large amounts to make up for the fast as taking in large quantities of food with high oils and spices could be harmful.
He recommended that ideally, the fast should be broken with the date palm fruit, or any other fruit that was not high in acid, because some people did not react well to such fruits.
The Dietician said fasting, apart from its spiritual benefits, held therapeutic gains, and could control or treat conditions like diabetes once it was done rightly.
