He urged Muslims to allow the lessons of Ramadan to positively reflect in their daily lives, particularly in their relationships with family members, neighbours, and adherents of other faiths.

He further admonished Muslims to abide by the commandments of Allah as contained in the Glorious Qur’an and as exemplified by Prophet Muhammad.
