Raheem, who lived alone, was at home cooking in his kitchen when the incident occurred, but luckily, he suffered no injuries.
The CIOG said it is working along with Imam Sanjay Persaud of Old Mosque in raising the necessary funds required to repair Raheem’s home. The pensioner has nowhere else to stay but to reside in his broken home.
Anyone wishing to render assistance to Raheem can contact the CIOG on (592) 225-6167 or Imam Sanjay on (592) 621-5331.
The CIOG said it has remained committed to providing leadership for the development of the Islamic community in Guyana in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah (way of life/conduct) of Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be peace) and to meet the spiritual, social, economic and general welfare needs of both the Islamic and non-Islamic communities over its 44 years of existence.
