ERC’S MESSAGE ON THE OBSERVANCE OF YOUMAN NABI

Sep 05, 2025 News

Kaieteur News – The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) extends warm and sincere greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters, and to all Guyanese, on the sacred occasion of Youman Nabi, the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH).

Youman Nabi holds profound significance for the Muslim community in Guyana and across the globe. It is a time for deep reflection on the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who brought a message of peace, and universal brotherhood to the world. The Holy Prophet’s example of compassion, humility, integrity, and forgiveness continues to inspire millions to lead lives of faith and service.

For all Guyanese, regardless of religious beliefs, the observance of Youman Nabi offers a valuable opportunity to appreciate the universal principles that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) championed. His teachings on social justice, equality, care for the poor and vulnerable, and the importance of unity, transcends cultural and religious boundaries.

In Guyana, those values are the very bedrock upon which our national motto is built. The Holy Prophet’s life is a testament to building bridges of understanding and fostering harmony. In his own words, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said “be kind, for whenever kindness becomes part of something, it beautifies it. Whenever it is taken from something, it leaves it tarnished.”

This timeless message is particularly relevant to our nation as we continue our journey of promoting harmony and good relations amongst all the ethnic groups residing in Guyana. As we join with our Muslim brothers and sisters in observing this holy day, let us all be inspired to embody the principles of tolerance, respect, and kindness in our daily interactions.
