Muslims’ new year begin today -CIOG
The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) has announced that the new moon for the sacred month of Muharram (the first month in the Muslim Lunar Calendar) was sighted on Saturday evening- heralding the new lunar Islamic year.
“The Central Executive Council of the CIOG congratulates the Muslim Community and call on all Muslims to begin this new year with extra acts of devotion and remembrance of Allah and a renewed commitment to obeying our Lord in accordance with the standard He set forth in the Noble Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).”
CIOG said that it is only through strict adherence to the way of Prophet Muhammad that people will achieve purity of faith and freedom from vice and corruption.
“Any other course will result in lusts such as greed, animosity and prejudice which only induce men to indecencies and vileness. We therefore remind ourselves and all Muslims in Guyana and indeed all Guyanese that it is our duty to learn and live that Prophetic way in all aspects of our lives without exception.”
