This Khutbah was delivered by Dr. Umar Faruq Abd'Allah, scholar in
residence at the Nawawi Foundation in Chicago. It was delivered at the
compound of the Muslim Youth Organization (MYO) in Georgetown, Guyana,
on April 2. Given that it was 'Good Friday' Dr. Umar decided to address
the topic of the Islamic perspective of the Christian doctrine of the
Crucifixion of Christ. The Khutbah was given at the request of the
Central Islamic Organization of Guyana (CIOG) and the executive of
Queenstown Jama Masjid. Because the Masjid is being reconstructed MYO is
the temporary home for its Jumu'ah Khutbah.
