The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) extends greetings to all Guyanese, especially our Muslim brothers and sisters, in observance of Youman Nabi – the birth anniversary of Islam’s Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him.
Observed as a National Holiday in Guyana, Youman Nabi holds deep significance for the Muslim community, as it commemorates the exemplary life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), whose message of peace, compassion, and unity continues to inspire generations worldwide.
The ERC recognizes the pivotal role this occasion plays in fostering reflection, spiritual growth, and the strengthening of moral values – all of which resonate deeply within our diverse society.
Youman Nabi reminds us of the importance of understanding and embracing our shared values of tolerance, love, and service to humanity, which are central to the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and are critical to building a united Guyana.
The Commission encourages all citizens to use this sacred occasion as a time to reflect on the bonds that unite us as one people.
