Within a few days from now, the holy month of Ramadan will dawn upon us …. It is our responsibility to follow the path of equality and brotherhood as morals from his life.’
He cited an incident of seerat and said, ‘Once a person asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): “Which is the best thing in Islam?” The Prophet Saab said, “feeding a poor and needy and meeting everyone cordially, whether you know him or not!”
