The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) says that the observance of You-man-Nabi is most appropriate for Muslims to demonstrate the values of tolerance, sacrifice and harmony, which the Prophet’s teachings advise.
“We in Guyana, despite our difference, can teach the world how to co-exist in peace together. We disagree but we still live, work, play and worship together in tolerance,” GAWU stated in a message wishing happy You-man-Nabi to all Muslims.
The union also urged the Muslim community “to continue to inspire the rest of the nation with its good, charitable works – and the continuous manifestation of the message of peace and love which is the real cornerstone of the Prophet’s universal teachings.”
