Guyana was well represented at this year’s 12th International Qaseeda Mehfil 2014, hosted by the Hidayatul Islam in Paramaribo, Suriname recently, according to Public Relations Executive, Reyaz Hussein.
Guyana’s participation at the event was facilitated through the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman (GUSIA) and the Anna Catherina Islamic Complex (ACIC).
Guyana was represented in all categories—Male and Female, Junior and Senior, and in addition to the participants, a large delegation travelled to Suriname for the event.
The event in Suriname follows Trinidad & Tobago’s hosting of the annual event in April last year.
This year’s event saw participation from Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, India, Pakistan, Canada and Holland. This newspaper was informed that it was a truly remarkable event witnessed by hundreds of people including Suriname’s Home affairs Minister, Honorable Mr. Edmund Leilis.
The Guyana contingent represented this country under this nation’s telecommunication giant, Guyana Telephone & Telegraph Co. (GT&T) and was led by President General of ACIC, Hakeem Khan.
Qaseeda is the singing of songs in praise of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAS), and in Guyana, the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman was the first organization to have organized such competitions in the past. Thereafter, other organizations followed.
The International event is in its twelfth year and next year’s event will be hosted in Guyana in August. This event is also expected to receive continued corporate sponsorship from GT&T.
