We stated it in our Message to Muslim and all Guyana last year and its relevance bears repetition once more:

“The Holy Prophet Mohammed (On Whom Be Peace) founder of a faith that is the, reportedly, the fastest growing religion in the world, was a Messenger who fashioned a set of religious, spiritual and more principles to guide man-kind through the morass they often create for themselves. Islam reached discipline, devotion to a higher Creator and continuous consideration for the less fortunate amongst us. Those virtues all help to keep Believers strong and resilient to face life’s worldly woes”.

The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) – a worker bargaining unit which boasts a significant number of members of the Islamic faith – associates itself with the observance of this annual Muslim celebration of BOTH the birth and life of the Prophet Mohammed (On Whom Be Peace).

The tenets, teachings and edicts of the Holy Koran oblige Muslims to be exemplary citizens of compassion, charity and generosity to the less fortunate. The global economic challenges of these times, coupled with our own nation’s struggles against an economy under strain, as well as hostile weather emergencies, have all thrown up citizens who look forward to the assistance which Muslims have a reputation for dispensing.

GAWU, therefore, lauds our Islamic Community for their sterling image role and life-style in Guyana and trust that they never depart from their Prophet’s admonitions.
Happy Youman Nabi to the Muslim Community!
