For Immediate Release
Happy Eid-ul-Adha from the Guyana’s People Partnership (GPP)
16 November 2010
On this sacred day, The GPP sends greetings to our Muslim brethren all over the world especially the Guyanese everywhere both in and out of our beautiful nation.
For us in Guyana, on this day of thanksgiving and rejoicing, is overshadowed by the suffering and sorrow of so many of our citizens who still live below the poverty line. We hope that, wherever Guyanese Muslim men and women foregather, we pledge to work together for a better today for all our people.
The lesson of Ibrahim’s unwavering obedience to Allah to sacrifice his own son should teach us the lesson to be obedient. The spirit of sacrifice as was shown by Ibrahim, God would rend the clouds and shower on us his blessing as a nation if we believe in him.
It is a fitting opportunity for us to recognise and celebrate the common ground between faiths and look to what unites rather than divides us.
Let us also take time to share some of the grief our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and other places who are suffering even while we celebrate with our families
GPP wishes all a happy Eid-ul-Adha
