Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Saturday greeted the people of the country and all Muslims across the world on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan.
“On the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the people of the country and the Muslim Ummah," he said in a message as the holy month of Ramadan set to begin on Sunday.
Stating that the soul is purified through self-restraint during this holy month of fasting and restraint, the Chief Adviser said, "It is a wonderful opportunity to earn the blessings, closeness, and forgiveness of Almighty Allah."
Dr Yunus mentioned that fasting plays a unique role in fostering mutual sympathy, harmony and brotherhood between the rich and the poor.
Inspired by the teachings of Ramadan, he urged all to avoid indulgence, jealousy, hatred, disorder and conflict and to protect the sanctity of Ramadan by practicing self-control, patience, and restraint in all aspects of life.
In addition to fasting, Dr. Yunus encouraged all to recite the Quran and engage in prayers and worship throughout the month.
"May Almighty Allah grant us the strength to implement the teachings of Ramadan in our national life," he added.
