When the Prophet arrived in Medina, the people came out in their numbers and greeted him with a song which is the first recorded Qaseeda known.This song “tal’a al Badru Alayna” is still very popular in all Muslim communities throughout the world, and is taught in all Muslim schools.Qaseedas are sung in different languages by Muslims in different countries, eg. Arabic, Swahali, Pushtu, Farsi, English and Urdu, among others.  The CIOG indicated that it does not have any record of the Qaseedas sung by the first Muslims who came to Guyana from West Africa, but expressed hope that “one day contact will be made with our African brothers and sisters  and revive this part of our Islamic heritage for our people of  Guyana”.The organisation informed that indentured labourers who came from India brought with them the Qaseedas in the Urdu language. Since then, the singing of Qaseedas has become a prominent feature in the cultural and religious life of the Muslim and Guyanese community.It was noted in the release that over the years there has been a decline in the Urdu language. One of the objectives of the Qaseeda competition is to revive the Urdu language and to promote the singing of  Qaseedas.  Another objective, the CIOG emphasised, is to promote unity among the Caribbean people so that there can be more interaction and familiarization between the people of Guyana, Trinidad, and Suriname.  There is also the hope that this can be extended to other countries in the Caribbean and South America.
