May we live our lives with submission and obedience to God

I AM pleased to extend to all Guyana, but especially to all Muslim Brothers and Sisters, joyous and holy greetings on the occasion of YoumanNabi.

On this special day, a public holiday in our country, Muslims commemorate the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (On Whom Be Peace). The Holy Prophet (On Whom Be Peace) holds a revered and reserved place in the lives and consciences of Muslims. His teachings and his example continue to inspire and direct the lives of all believers. The rapid growth of Islam in recent times attest to the continued relevance of the teachings of this great religion and the tremendous impact the Holy Prophet Mohammed has had in distilling its truths and virtues to humanity.

As Muslims throughout Guyana observe the YoumanNabi- The day of the Prophet- I wish to encourage them to reflect deeply and profoundly on his teachings and on the example of his life, the quintessence of which is engraved with courage, humility, kindness and absolute and unconditional devotion to Allah.

May we all take example from the life of the Holy Prophet! May we all aspire to live our own lives with the same wholesome submission and obedience to God as did the Prophet Mohamed (On Whom Be Peace).

Happy YoumanNabi!
