  1. MashaAllah. Love from 🇧🇩 for my Guyanese brothers and sisters.
    We are your ancestors ( somehow or someway related to you ) still living in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Thank you my brothers that you are doing well. May! Allah always help and protect you. Amin.

  2. I just noticed most of Muslim eating with the right hand but drinking with the left.they should try to drink as well with the right hand, someone should teach them.

  3. “They” did not bring “ slaves from Africa” . The British and Dutch colonial powers captured free African people and enslaved them to toil in the land of the Americas and Caribbean islands.

  4. মাশাআল্লাহ আল-জাজিরার এই অনুষ্ঠানটা খুবই সুন্দর

    অনেক অনেক ধন্যবাদ আল-জাজিরারকে

  5. Wollahi I'm so amazed with this Doc, never knew Guyana has such a thriving Muslim community. May Allah continue to guide the people of Guyana. Such a loving country. Hope to visit there some day

  6. Assalamualaikum..I’m from Malaysia. I noticed the president mentioned ‘kampung’ as in village. That’s a Malay word for village as well. The ladies wear quite similar outfits. Some Guyanese looks like Malays too besides they have African origins. Amazing really! Ramadan Mubarak 🤲🏻
