MESSAGE BY HON. SAMUEL A.HINDS,
PRIME MINISTER PERFORMING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT ON
THE
FUNCTION OF YOUMUN NABI
It is my pleasant duty and one of the great
honour to extend warm greetings and best wishes to all my
Muslim Brothers and Sisters on the day of Youmun Nabi commemorating
the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet Muhammed .
Whilist Youmun Nabi is a holy day in Islam,
in Guyana it is observed and celebrated by the whole nation
as we seek to develop a collective consciousness of festivals
that are important to the various religions which we follow.
Youmun Nabi is the most appropriate time
to reflect again and take example from the life of the Holy
Prophet whose life was intended to be the model for mankind.
We in Guyana and in the world at large, whether Muslim or
not, must endeavour in all our doings to reflect our accordance
with His teachings of the brotherhood of Man, the oneness
in our origin, our basic and intrinsic worth and equality.
We must recognize that this oneness brings rights in the way
others but in what we make yourselves, conscious that each
of us is an example by which Mankind is to be known.
This lesson from the Holy Prophet is very
relevant to us Guyanese today, faced as we are with a great
test of faith that we can realize the aspiration of becoming
one people, one nation and one destiny, and building here
for each other a life as prosperous as what we see other people
have created from themselves in their countries.
A Happy Eid Milad-un-Nabi to all.
