President Mamnoon Hussain has urged the nation to resolve all the internal and external issues confronting to the country through mutual harmony, understanding, co-operation, unity and accord. In a message to the nation on the onset of holy month of Ramazan, the President said we knew that forgiveness, love and affection, tolerance and mutual empathy were the core of our religion. Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) has also directed us to adopt this way to resolve the issues, he remarked.
He congratulated the whole Muslim Ummah, particularly the Pakistani nation on the advent of holy Ramazan. He said according to the holy Quran, fasting was made compulsory so that believers might adopt piety.
Piety means righteous and cautious way of life. The holy Ramazan provides this cautious way of life. Piety does not only mean the prayers, but it covers all matters of life. It includes peace and security, well-wishing and harmony which provide the basis of Islam," the President said.
He said in the current circumstance, our dear country was faced with various internal and external challenges. "Let us pledge that we by keeping us above all the differences will take every action that helps promote Islamic and democratic values and is beneficial for the development and progress of country and nation," he said. President Mamnoon said similarly, we should also pledge not to leave any stone unturned to root out the destructive thoughts of terrorism, violence and intolerance. We can truly adopt piety by following this approach, he added. He prayed that Allah Almighty blessed us with the spirit of discipline, unity and accord and love and tolerance, which we all aspire. He also prayed to Allah to bestow us with the devotion to benefit from the blessings of holy Ramazan.
