Guyanese from all walks of life and throughout the country were treated to some of the most inspiring and enlightening lectures from one of the world’s most renowned and respected Muslim scholar, Huzoor Maulana Zain ul Akhtab Siddiqi, who recently visited Guyana for a week long programmes.

Muslim scholar, Huzoor Maulana Zain ul Akhtab Siddiqi paid a courtesy call on President Donald Ramotar.

The programmes were staged under the theme “Muhammad is the way to paradise.”
According to Public Relations, Reyaz Hussein, Huzoor Zain Akhtab lived up fully to his expectations with his unique oratory skills where he engaged the audience in his presentations.
“Later on as expressed by many Muslims, His Eminence Hazrat Zain was said to be the best scholar to have ever visited the country. Not since the Late Maulana Shamshuddin, Late Maulana Shah Ahmad Nooranie and Late Maulana Abdul Aleem Siddiqui made their visit to this part of the world in the middle and latter half of the last century, had the visit of any other Muslim scholar to Guyana generated the hype as this visit of Maulana Zain to the Guyanese Muslim Community and Guyana.” He emphatically said.
Adding that the Muslim scholars’ visit to Guyana brought about the unity of all the Muslim organizations, Hussein said in fact the entire Muslim community was mobilized for this historic visit. A packed itinerary with programmes and activities throughout the country saw the visit of the scholar even though coordinated through the Anna Catherina Islamic Complex and the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman but had the support of all the Muslim Organizations in Guyana.
He said that the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana (CIOG), the Guyana Islamic Trust (GIT) and the Anjuman Hifazatul Islam (HIFAZ), Darul Uloom are the major organizations that lent support to the tour while all the other Muslim organizations were committed in some way or the other to the visit.
Adding that at the main programme at the Anna Catherina Islamic Complex, his Eminence electrified his audience which included Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Leader of the Opposition political parties in Parliament, David Granger, with his presentation. Hussein said the packed Lecture Hall was treated to a never before interactive speech of great eloquence.
Courtesy calls were also made on President of Guyana, Donald Ramotar and other dignitaries.
