𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 | Official Statement of the Guild for Ascension of the Bangsamoro by Actuating the Youth (GABAY) Inc. on the First Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem.

Tomorrow, September 14, 2026, the Bangsamoro will take part in the first regular parliamentary elections under the Bangsamoro Organic Law, a moment nearly three decades of struggle and negotiation have built toward. What was once an aspiration written into a peace agreement now becomes a choice that every eligible voter in the region can make with their own hand.

We recognize the weight of this occasion. Hence, we call on our members, partner communities, and the Bangsamoro youth in particular to approach the election with the seriousness it deserves: to vote, to encourage others to vote, and to do so peacefully. Amanah, the trust entrusted to us, also applies to how we participate in this process: with honesty, with patience toward one another regardless of political line, and with respect for the outcome once it is known.

GABAY, Inc. does not speak here for or against any party or candidate. Our concern is narrower, and we believe, more lasting—for the Bangsamoro youth to show up, to make informed choices rather than choices made under pressure, and to help ensure that the process itself remains one the region can point to with pride, whoever it elects. A credible first election matters as much as who it elects.

To the young people still deciding whether their vote carries weight should know that it does. Voting is both a right and responsibility, and how it is used matters as much as whether it is used at all. The decisions made by this parliament will affect the region we will live, work, and build in for years to come. Showing up is how we make sure our future is shaped by our choices rather than decided without us.

We also remind everyone to stay vigilant and mindful of their safety throughout this period, on the way to and from polling precincts, while waiting in line, and in the days around counting. Election periods can carry tension even when the process itself stays peaceful, and simple awareness of one’s surroundings is a form of care for oneself and for others.

Above all, we ask Allah (SWT) to guide this process toward justice and to keep our communities safe and united, tomorrow and in the seasons of governance that follow.

Wallahu a’lam.

On this blessed occasion of Eid al-Adha, we extend our warmest greetings to everyone in our community. 🌙✨

In a world that often asks us to think of ourselves first, may this Eid gently bring us back to one another—as a community bound by faith, mercy, and shared hope. May every prayer whispered in silence be heard, every act of kindness be multiplied, and every home be embraced with peace and barakah.

From our organization to you and your families, Eid al-Adha Mubaarak! 🩵🤍

The Guild for Ascension of the Bangsamoro by Actuating the Youth (GABAY), Inc., through a grant from the Bangsamoro Youth Commission, successfully conducted the Transcendence Rehabilitation and Eco-Enrichment (TREE) Program on May 3, 2026, at Mahad Ubay Bin Ka’ab Qur’anic Institution, Inc., located in Simuay, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte.

The program brought together youth volunteers and markaz students in a collaborative effort to promote environmental sustainability and community engagement. Representatives from the Bangsamoro Youth Commission and the institution’s administration were present to show their support, highlighting the importance of multi-sectoral participation in advancing ecological and youth development initiatives.

The TREE Program was designed to cultivate environmental awareness while strengthening the values of discipline, responsibility, and stewardship among the youth. It also aimed to integrate environmental action with spiritual and personal growth, reflecting the holistic development approach advocated within the Bangsamoro community.

The program commenced with an informative lecture on agriculture delivered by Sir Roy Patrick F. Ambacan, RAgr., who shared practical knowledge on sustainable practices and the importance of environmental conservation. This learning session set the foundation for the afternoon’s hands-on tree-planting activity, where participants actively contributed to local reforestation efforts.

The event concluded with a reflection and dialogue session, providing participants the opportunity to share insights, experiences, and recommendations. These discussions generated valuable ideas that may inform future youth-led policies and initiatives focused on peacebuilding and environmental protection.

Through the TREE initiative, GABAY, Inc. continues to empower young individuals to become proactive agents of change, committed not only to environmental preservation but also to the broader goals of peace, unity, and sustainable development in the Bangsamoro region.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵.

As the final takbir fades and the days of fasting conclude, many feel a sense of relief. The spiritual effort of the month is complete, and life seems ready to return to “normal.”

But the real concern lies in what that “normal” becomes—not the joy of Eid or time with family, but the quiet return to forgetfulness and spiritual neglect.

Ramadhan is often treated like a temporary period of discipline. We strive, improve, and then pause until the next year. Yet this mindset contradicts the purpose of the month.

In fact, the companions of the Prophet ﷺ did not simply celebrate its end; they feared losing the spiritual state they had attained. They understood that devotion to Allah is not seasonal.

Allah reminds us in the Qur’an: “And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).” (15:99).

Worship does not expire with Ramadhan. It is a lifelong commitment.

Consider any meaningful relationship. If someone showed care and attention for only one month each year and neglected you for the rest, the connection would weaken. How then should we view our relationship with Allah—the One who sustains us, hears our prayers, and grants us countless blessings? It cannot be limited to a single month.

Allah is not only the Lord of Ramadhan, but of every moment that follows. He is the Lord of our routines, responsibilities, and challenges. Faith must extend beyond the mosque into our studies, work, interactions, and private moments. True devotion is consistent.

For the youth especially, this is a critical realization. Society often presents youth as a time for unrestricted freedom, while faith is treated as secondary. In reality, youth is a period of accountability and opportunity. It is when habits are formed, character is built, and direction is set.

Maintaining the spirit of Ramadhan does not require repeating its intensity, but it does require consistency. Worship is not limited to fasting and prayer. It includes honesty, self-control, lowering one’s gaze, speaking truthfully, and acting with integrity even when no one is watching. These are daily expressions of faith.

It is also important to establish a sustainable routine. Even small, consistent acts—regular prayers, a portion of Qur’an, voluntary fasting, or moments of reflection—help preserve what was built during Ramadhan. Consistency, even if modest, is more valuable than short-lived intensity.

Brothers and sisters, guard your relationship with Allah with the same care you give to your responsibilities and public image. Just as you strive to meet expectations in school or work, give equal—if not greater—importance to your spiritual obligations.

The true test is not the 30 days of Ramadhan, but the days that follow. It is in ordinary moments, when no one is watching, that sincerity is proven. The challenge is no longer hunger or thirst. It is complacency.

Do not lose what you have gained. The real reward of Ramadhan is not the celebration of Eid, but the taqwa it cultivates. Preserve it through continued effort—through prayer, remembrance, charity, and seeking knowledge.

Ramadhan may have ended, but your journey to Allah continues with every breath until the end of life.

In the end, you will not be asked, “How was your Ramadhan?”

You will be asked, “How did you live your life?”

So let it be a life of consistent devotion, where the spirit of Ramadhan is not temporary, but lasting.

Ramadhan has ended, but your mission continues.

On March 17, 2026, GABAY, Inc. conducted a visitation and distributed packed iftar meals as part of the final leg of its Kapangalimwan sa Ramadhan series at Markaz Dar Nurol Imaan Litahfizil Qur’an, located in Tapayan, Sultan Mastura, Maguindanao del Norte.

During the visit, the organization introduced its mission to the female Qur’anic students, highlighting its “Preserving Qur’an Movement,” which aims to support and promote the Qur’an across the Bangsamoro region.

The program also featured a brief Islamic lecture by Sheikh Amry Datumanong, who shared valuable reminders on the virtues and proper way of concluding the month of Ramadhan.

GABAY, Inc. sincerely expresses its appreciation and gratitude to all sponsors who made this initiative possible. The organization firmly believes that students of Qur’anic institutions play a vital role in shaping the future of the Bangsamoro.

May Allah accept our ibadah, fasting, and du’as, bless us abundantly, and grant us the opportunity to witness the next Ramadhan. Ameen.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗤𝘂𝗿’𝗮𝗻 | Al Hafizh Mahathir Mohamad Sangacala
Surah Al-isrā

Tahajjud (Night Vigil): Verse 79 encourages the Prophet (and by extension, the believers) to pray during a portion of the night as an additional (nafilah) act. This is described as a means for Allah to raise one to a "Station of Praise" (Maqam Mahmud).

On March 14, 2026, GABAY, Inc. conducted a jail visitation and distributed iftar packed meals to the inmates at the Cotabato City Jail – Female Dormitory.

The program formally opened with a short Qur’an recitation by Al Hafizh Mohammad Osama Dalandan, which deeply moved the inmates as they listened once again to the words of Allah.

During the visit, GABAY, Inc. Vice President Jaylomer Alano introduced the organization and shared that GABAY carries out its activities together with da’wah, guided by Islamic principles and inspired by its tagline, “Qur’an ang tunay na GABAY.”

As part of the organization’s da’wah efforts, a short Islamic reminder was also shared by a member of GABAY, Inc., Guiani Manabilang, highlighting the role and importance of women before and after Islam, the meaning of At-Taqwa, and the importance of striving in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadhan.

Alhamdulillah, the team was able to share iftar with the inmates. As the program concluded, one of the inmates expressed her heartfelt gratitude:

“Pedsukuran nami su kinapamsita nu sa lekami sa di kena nu bu sekami nadtapikan sa makan ka sabap sa lekanu na nakineg nami baluman su ayatan nu Allah endu mga bityala nu Islam.”

(We are grateful for your visit—not only for bringing us food, but also for giving us the opportunity to listen again to the words of Allah and learn about Islam.)

She added emotionally:

“Ya nami bu bangenin sa lekanu na makamung nu sekami sa mga du’a nu nandu iyamung nami bun mambu sekanu sa du’a nami. Ya nin sabap sa kadateman nami dn ged su pamilya nami sa lyu, sa kyug nami ged silan katyakapan.”

(We hope you will include us in your du’as, and we will include you in ours. We truly miss our families outside and long to take care of them again.)

The program concluded with a photo opportunity and the distribution of Qur’ans with translation and Islamic pamphlets from Biayah Inc.

GABAY, Inc. sincerely thanks everyone who supported this initiative and helped us reach this vulnerable group. May Allah accept our fasting and du’as and bless everyone involved. Ameen.

On March 12 & 13, 2026, GABAY, Inc. visited and extended support to selected local masjid mu’adhins through a relief distribution activity. Two identified beneficiaries were personally visited by the team of volunteers from GABAY, Inc.

One of them is Bapa Masabpi, a 76-year-old mu’adhin at a local masjid in Brgy. Gang, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte. Despite his age, he continues to faithfully arrive early at the masjid for every prayer time to call the adhan. Although he has children, Bapa Masabpi currently lives alone in his home.

Meanwhile, Bapa Onsing, a 62-year-old mu’adhin of a local masjid in Tamontaka 4, Cotabato City, shared that this Ramadhan has been particularly difficult for them, as they frequently struggle to provide food on the table for suhoor and iftar. Despite these challenges, Bapa Onsing remains committed to his duty and continues to be present at every prayer time to call the adhan.

During the visit, GABAY, Inc. provided each of them with a grocery package to help support their daily needs for the remaining days of Ramadhan. This activity is part of the organization’s effort to assist and uplift members of the community during this blessed month.

We sincerely thank everyone who supported this initiative and made it possible for us to reach out to these deserving individuals. May Allah accept their fasting and du’as, and may He bless them abundantly.
