Dec 01, 2017 News

“Prophet Hazrat Muhammad was the personification of righteousness. His teachings and deeds have been so powerful that it influenced the beginning of the world’s second largest religion, with over one billion persons now following the path of Islam.”
This was the observation of Minister f Social Cohesion with responsibility for Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. George Norton, in a message to commemorate the Muslim religious occasion of Youman Nabi today.
“Today, we join the Islamic community to celebrate the birth and life of their Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad Sahib (Peace be upon him). Sincerest Youman Nabi greetings to you all,” said Minister Muhammad.
He highlighted that Muhammad’s teachings of compassion, love, kindness, charity, brotherhood and tolerance have become universal. It is therefore important that “we take this day to rededicate ourselves to the ideals for which he lived his life.”
He moreover added, “I urge you, my brothers and sisters, to see beauty in the diversity of these six peoples and cultures that dwell on the Land of Many Waters. Let us honour this great Prophet by shattering the barriers that have divided us for far too long. Let us be kind and compassionate to all fellow beings, regardless of their ethnic background and social status. Do your part to practice and promote peace over chaos, and forgiveness over fighting and malice. Following the Prophet’s teachings is key helping us achieve Social Cohesion here in Guyana and across the globe. There is forever strength in unity,” the Minister underscored in his message.
