TODAY our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate Youman Nabi which commemorates the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad.The exemplary life of Prophet Muhammad, his teachings of the Islamic principles of brotherhood and humanity towards all mankind are particularly reflected upon at this time. At this juncture of history when the world is affected by cowards and extremists who use the peaceful religion of Islam as cover for their barbaric activities, the teachings of the Holy Prophet is of particular relevance.
Prophet Muhammad’s legacy is of a way of life that is universal in scope, purpose and completeness. Islam promotes an end to human suffering, injustice and inequality and embraces the universal desire of peace and harmonious living throughout communities, countries and globally. This message resonates with our government that is committed to ensuring a good life for all Guyanese, regardless of religion, creed, ethnicity, gender or any other man-made segregatory boundaries.
The Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana wishes a peaceful and enjoyable celebration of Youman Nabi to all our Muslim brothers and sisters countrywide and in the Diaspora.
