Islam in Trinidad and Guyana

Question: What contribution has Islam made in Trinidad and Guyana?

Answer: Islam has made great contributions to all areas in these Islands. Whether it relates to politics, trade, agriculture, economics, culture or religion, Islam has equally contributed to all areas. With the considerable amount of good that has been given by Islam, the Muslims have always been looked upon as upright and honest people who are very active in the building of the country. It should be noted that Islam is not a foreigner to these lands, in fact, it is as old as the people of these lands. It came with the earliest Indian and African settlers and grew with them until today. As such, Islam existed in these areas before the country was actually built and formed in the way that many people know of. Islam has been here from the very early period in these lands and has an equal contribution in building these countries.

And Allah knows best.
