People’s Progressive Party
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends Greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters on the auspicious occasion of Youman Nabi.
Youman Nabi commemorates the birth and death anniversary of the Holy Prophet Mohamed (on whom be peace) and is being observed and celebrated throughout the Muslim world.
The exemplary life of the Prophet Mohamed in terms of his simplicity, honesty and integrity should be emulated by all which could only redound to the good of humanity.
The PPP takes this opportunity to call on Guyanese to use this occasion to reflect on the life and teachings of the Prophet Mohamed which is based on the precepts of peace and brotherhood.
This message is all the more relevant in today’s world in which there is so much conflict and tension and where man’s inhumanity to man has reached alarming proportions. In this regard, the PPP condemns those who shelter under the umbrella of Islam and conduct all manner of barbaric and inhumane actions such as kidnappings and murder.
Once again, Youman Nabi Greetings to all Guyanese, in particular Muslims.

From PNCR
The People’s National Congress Reform wishes to extend greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Guyana and to the Muslim community throughout the world on the important occasion of Youman Nabi, the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet Muhammed, the final messenger of God to mankind.
The Party takes particular note of the fact that the Holy Prophet Muhammed has left a legacy of a religion that is universal in scope and purpose, which promotes an end to human suffering, disease and poverty. More particularly, this legacy is consistent with the promotion of peace and harmony in our country and the rest of the world.
This legacy is important not only for the spiritual development of this nation but also for its commitment to ending disease, poverty and backwardness and the promotion of harmony in Guyana.
Guyanese can benefit from this legacy by using it as an instrument not only for the promotion of understanding among our various ethnic groups but also and more importantly for bringing a healing touch to the dilemmas and challenges which afflict the nation at the present time.
The PNCR is referring in particular to the spiraling drug culture, the scourge of violence and the spate of brutal murders, a situation which has scarred the social landscape and has earned us a certain degree of regional and international disrepute.
The PNCR, therefore, wishes to suggest to the nation that as we reflect on the significance of the birth of the Holy Prophet we take to heart the message and lessons of the doctrines of this great religion and use them as important instruments for improving our society in such a way that we can begin to see the end of the vicious cycle of violence and witness the creations of conditions for racial harmony, peace and the real development in Guyana.

From First Lady Madame Deolatchmee Ramotar
Youman Nabi is a noteworthy observance in our religious and cultural calendar. It is an auspicious occasion marking the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammed. It is time for us to distill the treasures of the truly exemplary life of the Holy Prophet and to apply these principles to our own lives so that we and the world can be a better place.
On this the occasion of Youman Nabi 2015, it is my privilege and pleasure to extend heartfelt greetings to all Guyanese but especially to our Muslim Brothers and Sisters who are today paying tribute to the life and works ofthe Holy Prophet.
I want to join with them in honoring the Holy Prophet whose life was dedicated to the service of others and to the spread and deepening of the Islamic faith.
The Holy Prophet is recognized as one of the great movers of humanity. His impact on the growth of Islam is unquestionable. He is considered one of the great personalities to have ever walked the Earth, whose impact still resonates in the world today.
During his lifetime, he preached understanding amongst people of all faiths. It is this aspect of his teachings that I wish to highlight today as we observe his birth and life.
We here in Guyana have been spared the misfortunes and tragedies that have visited many other countries afflicted by the scourges of religious conflict. And I believe that contributing to this internal religious harmony in our country is that fact that there exists a high degree of religious tolerance and understanding amongst our peoples. This has allowed multiculturalism to flourish in our society.
As we value this multiculturalism, let us appreciate the important role that understanding amongst peoples of all faiths has played in creating and promoting religious harmony in our country.
In continuing to promote religious tolerance and understanding, we are being faithful to the teachings of the Holy Prophet, whose inspirational life should continue to guide all of us, Muslims and non- Muslims alike. May the peace and blessings of Allah the Almighty be with you.
A Happy Youman Nabi to all!

Anna Catherina Islamic Complex (ACIC)
When tribalism, political turmoil, moral and social chaos was rampant, a child was born into what can be conceived as poverty and deprivation. He rose up to become a man who by example pioneered a new way of life that heralded into a worldwide admiration of principles that changed the course of civilization. Over 1400 years ago was born the Greatest Benefactor to Mankind, Hazrat Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, fulfilling a prophecy of the finality of prophet hood on earth to guide mankind towards good.
He changed mankind’s way of thinking towards the recognition of God and His commandments. He influenced people’s behavior and altered their evil inclinations. He came as a Mercy unto Mankind and was emulated in his character and disposition that helped transformed brutal men into sacred personalities. His life was a means in which rulers and subjects alike, copied the art of leadership, nation building, family orientation, political stability, economic reforms and last but not least, spiritual elevation. He, the Best of All Creation (Ussawatul Hassanat), provided civilization on earth with the direction of great success in this life and the life hereafter.
Eid Milad-un-Nabi or Youman Nabi (SAS) or the day in observance of the coming of this personality is once again being observed in our country and worldwide. In many ways, the situation in our world reflects similar situations as when the Prophet of Islam came into the world. Therefore, the solution for much of these present problems will lie in looking at the life of this great personality and how he solved the problems in that age.
The simple fact of the Prophet Muhammad (SAS) is that his contribution spans every age and every period of civilization on earth. Prophet Muhammad (SAS) as the final messenger of God to mankind brought a message of total inoculation against the evil of society. He liberated women and provided a system to maintain stability in the home, society and the world. He taught mankind how to preserve their honor and property and infused in them the understanding of respect, compassion, love and concern for each other. In fact, with the highest form of credibility, Prophet Muhammad (SAS) translated for them in his life these qualities in the most impeccable manner.
ACIC calls on all Muslims to observe special prayers for the solidarity, prosperity and integrity of the Muslim community, local and worldwide, our country and our world at large. We urge the people to strengthen national unity by emulating the foot-steps of the Holy Prophet. Use the teachings of the Holy Prophet and rekindle our souls with the light lit by him.

Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman
The Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman (GUSIA) takes the opportunity to extend to our Muslim Community and the Guyanese Nation, greetings on the occasion of Eid-Milad-un-Nabi or Youman Nabi.
This day, which observes the advent of God’s best creation, the Prophet Muhammad (SAS), is a day which must fill the hearts of Mankind with great joy. He was the person who translated in his life, qualities that are associated with great character.
Generations of nations are preserved by his teachings. They experienced progress in their affairs to the extent that indelible footprint of the past and guidance of the future permeates the history of mankind. The establishment of progressive nations and successful people are results of adherence to the guidance of Prophet Muhammad (SAS), the final Prophet of God to mankind.
Muhammad (SAS) as a prophet of God, leader of a great nation of which reaches over one billion followers today, lived a simply yet distinguished life. He mended his own clothes, detested pomp and pride, and was most humble in his accomplishments. Prophet Muhammad (SAS) advocated for the poor and needy and was a friend to the downtrodden. He solidified friendship between sworn enemies and established communities that are unified in aims, objectives and purposes. Prophet Muhammad commanded respect by his honesty, fairness and compassion for his followers and enemies alike. His opponents were very harsh yet he opened to them his generosity of kindness. No person was too insignificant in his sight and no one was more honorable than another was, unless s/he was stronger in faith and belief.
We join with Muslims throughout the world to remind all of the eminence and virtues of this great but honorable leader of mankind and to echo the feelings of love, dedication and commitment to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAS).
In this age of political instability, ethnic and racial violence, greed, materialism and uncertainties, the teachings of this great prophet must be explored more carefully. We will have to extract the ingredients of nation building, religious and spiritual codes and appropriate moral, social and economic disciplines to establish strong progressive nations populated with citizens who are cognizant of their duty first to God, the Creator and to fellow occupants of this earth.
We join to express joy and goodness on this special occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (Youman Nabi) and to pray for continued personal spiritual growth from the life of Prophet Mohammad (SAS), the final Prophet of God to all mankind.
