Jan 25, 2013 News

“When tribalism, political turmoil, moral and social chaos were rampant, a child was born into poverty and deprivation. He rose up to become a man who, by example, pioneered a new way of life that heralded into a worldwide admiration of principles that changed the course of civilization. Over 1400 years ago was born the Greatest Benefactor to Mankind, Hazrat Muhammad, (SAS) the Prophet of Islam, fulfilling a prophecy of the finality of prophethood on earth to guide mankind towards good.”

President of the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman, Hakeem Khan

These and other noteworthy historical facts were highlighted yesterday by President of the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman, Hakeem Khan, as Muslims celebrated Youman Nabi, the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad.
Khan emphasised that Prophet Muhammad changed mankind’s way of thinking towards the recognition of God and his commandments.
“He influenced people’s behaviour and altered their evil inclinations. He came as a Mercy unto Mankind and was emulated in his character and disposition that helped transform brutal men into sacred personalities. His life was a means in which rulers and subjects alike, copied the art of leadership, nation building, family orientation, political stability, economic reforms and last but not least, spiritual elevation. He, the Best of All Creation (Ussawatul Hassanat), provided civilization on earth with the direction of great success in this life and the life hereafter.”
Adding that Eid Milad-un-Nabi or Youman Nabi, is observed worldwide, Khan opined that the solutions for many of the present problems will lie in looking at the life of this great personality and how he solved the problems in that age.
He stressed that the simple fact about the Prophet Muhammad is that his contribution spans every age and every period of civilization on earth.
“Prophet Muhammad as the final messenger of God to mankind brought a message of total inoculation against the evil of society. He liberated women and provided a system to maintain stability in the home, society and the world. He taught mankind how to preserve their honour and property, and infused in them the understanding of respect, compassion, love and concern for each other. In fact, with the highest form of credibility, Prophet Muhammad translated for them in his life these qualities in the most impeccable manner.”
Khan further called on all Muslims to observe special prayers for the solidarity, prosperity and integrity of the Muslim community, local and worldwide.
