Islamabad: First Lady Begum Mehmooda Hussain on Tuesday stressed the need for provision of religious education to youths, especially girls besides their introduction to social norms and values to ensure their good upbringing.
The grooming of youths along these lines will protect the nation’s future, she told a group of schoolgirls here at the Aiwan-i-Sadr.
The first lady said to promote righteousness in society, there was a need to adopt practices of ‘namaz’ (prayers) and ‘sadqa’ (charity for the Almighty Allah’s will) as guard against evil deeds.
She said ‘sadqa’ was the best way to avert difficulties in one’s life and could be given away in any form. Begum Mehmooda mentioned the sayings of the Holy Quran emphasising the offering of ‘namaz’ and giving alms to those who deserved, which was a good way to please the Almighty Allah.
She said those practices developed spiritual purity and helped shun mutual hatred, which resultantly produced a spirit of positivity in the society. The first lady interacted with the students and also replied to their queries related to the topic.
