“We have got the greatest message in the Quran for our

guidance and enlightenment. All that we have got to do is to

know ourselves and the great qualities, virtues and powers

that we possess, let us work up to that great ideal. Let us

utilize our great potentialities in the right direction. Let us

forego our personal interest and conveniences for the collective

good of our people, and for a higher and nobler cause”.
