Addressing the children, Mufti Afroz Alam Qasmi said, “About humanity, Islam says one has to be mindful of helping others. This is also the message in the Quran. Ramazan also teaches us the importance of hunger. One must empathize with the sorrow and sufferings of fellow humans.”

“When different people of same thoughts meet at one place, they get the strength from our Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb (Inclusive civilization). Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, and Christian are all one. Only with these thoughts our country will grow and progress.”

Awaz-the Voice not only shared happiness by distributing gifts but also gave a message of nationalism among the children.
