Youngsters must focus on scholastic achievements

On the 74th Pakistan Day, I extend my heartiest felicitation to the entire Pakistani community residing in Jeddah and around the globe and thank Allah for bestowing us with an independent beautiful land of love, peace and harmony.
No matter, which corner of the world we reside, Pakistan is our identity which we earned through enormous sacrifices. Innumerable people gave their blood to kindle the light of freedom which we cherish.
Today I feel it’s obligatory to urge the Pakistani nation to renew our pledge that regardless of our personal interests, we will dedicate our energies for Pakistan and lead it to the highest level of prosperity and strength as dreamt by Iqbal and planned by Jinnah.
Being Muslims, acquiring education is one of our life’s prime objects.
I advise the youth of Pakistan to focus their interests toward education wholeheartedly with a strong belief on Quaid’s words; Work, Work and only Work!
Being the chairman of SMC in PISJ-ES, my team is resolute to ensure the optimum level of education and keep working toward this cause with full dedication.
May Allah protect our country from evil eyes and keep it safe from all catastrophes.
May this land remain the Center of Islam and prosper with the priceless wealth of prosperity, unity and perseverance. Ameen!
