The organizations will be having Leadership / Capacity Building Sessions, Debating, Quiz and Public Speaking Competitions throughout Guyana. According to Public Relations Officer, Reyaz Hussein, the leadership / capacity seminars are intended to train persons, especially young people, to effectively and efficiently function in leadership positions in their respective organizations. Sessions will be held in Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo. The first of which is scheduled for the Anna Catherina Islamic Complex. The debating competition is being organized for young people to discuss some of the many pertinent issues in the society. The topics to be
debated are: Human Rights vs Religious Rights: Is there a conflict in Islam? Islam accepts human organs donations and transplantation and Islam allows the integration of Muslims living in a nonIslamic country / environment. The Public Speaking competition, which is targeting mainly the Imams and other leaders, will allow persons to choose from the following topics: Can history, which is about the past, be of relevance to assist us in the future?; Islam states Women and men are equal ...but different; Doing what is right, is much harder than doing what is popular; If science and technology is so clever, and how come there’s still poverty in the world?. The Quiz Competition targets Makhtabs (Islamic Schools) within the country and each Jamaat /Makhtab is allowed one team to participate in the competition and each team must not exceed three persons less than 16 years. Interested Makhtabs are requested to submit the list of their team via email, to the organizations. A copy of the questions will then be made available.
The Competition will be conducted in two Stages: Preliminary Round and Semi Finals and Finals. This idea was first introduced to Guyana by Shaikh Safraz Bacchus, now Imam of Masjid Al Abdin, New York. President of ACIC, Hakeem Khan explained “that the relevance of these programs is rooted in the recognition that we live in a media-centered society. TV, radio, Internet, blogs, websites, Social Media, DVDs, newspapers, magazines…much of our days are spent communicating and/or listening. Naturally, for us to be successful and to improve the state of our respective communities, we must be able to excel in proper communication.” He further stated that many of the beautiful messages of Islam and its relevance to the present day society is lost because our Imams, Muslim Scholars and other Leaders are unable to make proper presentations and communicate with their audience effectively. The recognition that communication is an art, not a science makes people cognizant that there is no magic formula that makes
someone stand out as an orator or a writer. “There are universal rules about the art of communication just as there are universal rules about every other form of art, like painting, sculpture, and music.” The idea of these programmes came from the recent visit to Guyana of His Eminence, Huzoor Maulana Zain ul Akhtab Siddiqui who was said to be an excellent example of good and effective communicating skills. He was lauded for his ‘innovative’ ways of having interactive discourses with his audiences rather than just lectures. Facilitators will be both Muslims and nonMuslims drawn from Guyana, North America and the Caribbean. Interested persons, Jamaats and Organizations are invited to contact the organizations via email muslimjournal@yahoo.com. Or their respective Imams or Presidents. Non-Muslim organizations and persons interested in participating in these activities are also welcomed. For the Debating and Public Competitions, Trophies and prizes will be awarded to winners.
