Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, introspection, and togetherness for Muslims worldwide, is also a time to educate individuals about the Muslim faith and promote peace.
Josiah Williams reports on the opening of the National Ramadan Village, a significant event that brings together Muslims across Guyana.
The National Ramadan Village serves as a platform for Muslims to celebrate their religion and foster unity among hundreds of people through fasting and prayer.
President Shaykh Moeen ul-Hack of the Central Islamic Organization of Guyana emphasizes the importance of celebrating diversity and coming together to learn about each other’s cultures.
Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo commends the initiative for not only raising awareness about Islam but also promoting inclusivity.
He acknowledges the privilege of being able to observe Ramadan in Guyana and expresses solidarity with those around the world who are less fortunate, particularly in regions like Palestine.
Dr. Jagdeo calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and pledges continued prayers for peace during Ramadan.
Dr. Jagdeo reaffirms the government’s commitment to celebrating the cultural diversities of all Guyanese people, underscoring the importance of unity and understanding in building a harmonious society.
As Muslims worldwide observe Ramadan, the National Ramadan Village stands as a symbol of unity, education, and solidarity in Guyana.
