Islamic teachings can help reduce social injustices: President

ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain has said that following the teachings of Islam in true sense, can help reduce injustices in the society.

In his message to nation on Eid ul Fitr, President Mamnoon said going through the spiritual experiences during the blessed month, gives a realization about the difficulties of weaker segments of society.

He said this creates a sense of sympathy for such people and encourages assistance for them with open hearts and minds.

He said Eid is also the time to include the have-nots in the joy of occasion by providing them financial assistance through Zakat, Fitrah and Sadqa.

The President said Eid ul Fitr is a day of gratitude and bliss and extended heartiest felicitations to the Pakistani nation and the Muslims across the world.

He prayed that may Allah Almighty accept the prayers offered during the blessed month of Ramazan and make the homeland a haven of peace and prosperity.

The President said Ramazan ul Mubarak is a month of self-training and preparation to develop one’s life in accordance with the teachings of Islam. These blessed days focus on the restraint of the self and making it relevant with all matters of life, including those which would be very significant in next few months.

He pointed that the environment of election campaign sometimes developed a sense of competition among the people who either individually or collectively fall prey to several mistakes which are against the spirit of prayers. This creates animosity and bitterness among them, he added

He urged upon the political workers, stakeholders and the nation to extend the spirit of Ramazan to rest of their lives.

He prayed to Allah Almighty to bring peace in the country and always shower His blessings on it.
