The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) rendered extraordinary services to Islam and emphasized the importance of striving in the cause of faith through the pen. By the grace of Allah, his followers continue this mission with dedication.
From August 14–17, 2025, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Guyana set up a four-day bookstall at the International Building Expo, one of the country’s major national exhibitions.
Despite the presence of many non-Ahmadi Muslim groups in Guyana, this small and seemingly modest Jama’at was fortunate to lead such efforts in Tabligh. This is purely through the grace of Allah. Alhamdulillah!
The exhibition space was secured at a very reasonable rate. The bookstall showcased a variety of Jama’at publications for sale, and to boost public engagement, visitors who purchased books could have their names written in Arabic calligraphy at no extra charge. This initiative drew considerable interest and helped drive strong book sales.
Through the bookstall, 3,301 flyers were distributed to 1,590 people. Additionally, 85 small books were given as gifts to guests. A total of 119 books were sold, including 36 copies of the Holy Qur’an. A short introductory video was also created for the event and shared on Facebook and TikTok, where it garnered 14,493 views.
Photographs of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) and Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) were displayed prominently. Many visitors viewed the photos with interest and inquired about the individuals depicted. They were provided with detailed information about the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at and the claim and mission of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him).
Several dignitaries visited the exhibition, including the President of Guyana, Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, and the Vice President (and former President), Bharrat Jagdeo. A copy of “World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace” by Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) was presented to Mr. Jagdeo as a gift. The same book was gifted to Mr. Nazim Hussain, host at NCN National Television.
The success of this event was made possible through the dedicated efforts of Khuddam, Ansar, and Lajna volunteers, who worked together to convey the message of Islam Ahmadiyyat to thousands of visitors. We pray that Allah enables sincere souls to accept the truth of Islam Ahmadiyyat. Ameen!
