Distinguished Audience


Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuhu


Our concise Sharia and our comprehensive religion instill in us one of human life’s most exulted values: the pursuit of perfection in the work we undertake. Allah said in the Quran: “And do good, truly Allah loves the good-doers”. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Allah is deeply pleased when one strives for perfection in all what one does.”

We should move quickly to reinforce these efforts while ac
