PR No. 135 Islamabad

First Lady Begum Mahmooda Mamnoon Hussain has emphasized the need on overcoming the vices of lying and hypocrisy for character building and sensitizing the new generations with moral values to promote goodwill and fraternity in the society.

 

The First Lady said this while addressing the students of Islamabad Model School for Girls here at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad on Thursday.

 

Mentioning the upcoming Holy month of Ramadan, First Lady said that it is a month of training the purpose of which is that human beings should live their lives according to the will of Allah. She stated that for this purpose it is imperative that we should transform our lives according to the golden principles of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She pointed out that it is easier to attain goals of life if one subjects himself to three basic principles in the light of religious teachings. The first principle is Namaz. Two things should be kept in mind while offering prayer. Firstly, those fundamentals should be strictly followed which are obligatory on us. The second and most important aspect relates to feelings of our heart as regular offering of Namaz makes one humble. This is also a reason behind the refresher course of Ramadan.

 

First Lady said that the meaning of Islam is to accept the will of Allah Almighty adding that the purpose of other fundamentals including Fasting, Zakaat and Hajj is also to promote such feelings. Therefore, we should keep in view such objectives during fasting and offering of prayers in the Holy month of Ramadan.

 

First Lady Begum Mahmooda Mamnoon Hussain said that foundation of our religion is based on high moral principles. We learn the first lesson of morality from our home like respect for the elders, love for the children, giving the rightful to the needy and helping the weak. She stated that the real goal of prayer should be kept in mind in the month of Ramadan which is devotion to Allah Almighty.

 

On the occasion, First Lady also answered the questions of the students. After her address, she got mixed up with the students. The students also apprised her about their curricular activities.
