THIS is the time when our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
During this period Muslims around the world spend time praying and giving alms to the poor and needy.

This gesture of love is worthy of emulation and has the propensity to move us away from abhorrence which hinders progress and development in our country and communities.

Therefore, as we emphasise the spirit of caring and sharing love, let us contemplate ways to improve the general development of Guyana and the world of which we are all a part.

As Muslims throughout Guyana observe Youman Nabi – The day of the Prophet – we wish to encourage them to reflect deeply and profoundly on his teachings and be inspired by his humanitarian example, the quintessence of which is engraved with courage, humility, kindness, and charity.

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 practices and devotion as did the Prophet Muhammad (On Whom Be Peace).

Once again, Happy Youman Nabi.
