Portrayal of Muslims by media as angry, violent, blood-thirsty must stop – ACIC

Dec 24, 2013 News

 

 
The Anna Catherina Islamic Complex (ACIC) and The Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman will be associated with a series of programmes to mark the birth anniversary of the Beloved Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. The programmes will commence during the Islamic month Rabi-ul-Awal (the month in which the Prophet was born), on January 3, 2014 and will climax in May, 2014.
They will be staged under the theme “A Blessing for the Entire Universe- Prophet Muhammad.”
Eid Milad un Nabi or Youman Nabi, has been observed by these organizations for decades and is observed in nearly all countries where Muslims are present.
Thereafter, each night until the January 13, 2014, there will be nightly programmes at the complex. At these programmes the life of the Prophet of Islam will be discussed as well as the importance of showing love and gratitude for this greatest of all human beings. Resident Scholar at ACIC, Maulana/Qari Muhammad Mujahid Raza and Imam of ACIC, Imam Abdool Fazeel will make nightly presentations. Special Videos will be shown on “Big Screen” featuring His Eminence, Shaikh / Professor Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, one of the world’s foremost Muslim Scholar and founder of Minhaj University as well as other Scholars of Islam.
ACIC will join Muslims around the world in an event themed “International Mawlid in the city Event”. The original inspiration for holding the “Mawlid in the City” was drawn from the hugely successful event held a year ago outside Google’s London headquarters. The portrayal of Muslims by the media as an angry, violent and blood-thirsty community must stop. This year, “rose-themed” events are organized not only across the UK but throughout the world.
The rose-themed events seek to further isolate extremists of all kinds and to promote peace. Guyana’s event will be held at 6.30PM on January 11, 2014 and Special guest for the program is Maulana Muhammad Waffee of Trinidad & Tobago. Organizers will present a symbolic “rose” to representatives of the other religious groups of this country who will be present. For more information visit: www.mawlid.co.uk
