The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG), in observing Eid ul Fitr today, an observance marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, is encouraging Muslims to work toward unity by promoting peace and harmony.
The organisation, in a press release, reminded Muslims that they bear responsibility for working toward the unification of their country, and that the observance of Eid ul Fitr shows the real meaning of selflessness, goodwill and community.
“I take this opportunity to encourage you to invite our non-Muslim brethren to join in our Eid Celebrations. It is our duty to promote the core Islamic values of co-existence, tolerance, and khidma- to be in the service of others,” the organisation reminded.
It continued that Muslims, today, and every day, should strive to nurture the harmonious relationships in their families, communities, and the nation.
“As such, we will not only reap material benefits but we will also be grounded by spiritual and ethical values rooted in Islam,” the statement said.
CIOG wished Eid Mubarak greetings to all Muslims.
