“Had we adopted Islam in our lives and followed Muhammad S.A.W as role model, never would have such incidents shaped in our lives. It is only because we have gone far away from the righteous path of Islam we have to face such incidents on a daily basis.”
Nasreen said that we should sooner the better retain to the path of Islam and adopt the living standards that were set by the messenger of Islam 1450 years ago. (KNS)
