By giving generously during Ramadan, we can make our communities better

Apr 15, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

To start off the Holy Month of Ramadan, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama at Linden worked with Humanity First Linden, a humanitarian relief organisation, which distributed food hampers in Linden.

The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him used to be a very generous and giving person. However, in the month of Ramadan, he was exceptionally generous. Thus, in this month of Ramadan, the Muslims of Guyana also try their best to indulge in good deeds and develop good morals and character throughout the month and try to carry them over in the rest of the year. Aside from this, prayer is a main focal point. Therefore, by serving the community and praying, we fulfill our purpose as Muslims, which is to fulfill the rights of mankind and also fulfill the rights to God.

With this intention, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama at Linden also strived to give back to the community by distribution of food hampers. Four volunteers helped in this process and through torrents of rainfall, we were able to benefit many individuals and families.

In conclusion, when we give, it also allows us to become humble and increase in gratitude. There is always someone in more need than you and when one realises that, he/she would be more willing to give and help neighbours. This is the way, which we can make our communities in Guyana a better place. I wish all my Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed Ramadan and to those who are not Muslims that they have a blessed month as well.

Yours truly,
Maulana Fahd Peerzada
