Speaking to the audience, Mr Ubaid Ur Rehman Shaikh said:
‘I am always inspired by the motivation and sheer commitment of Imran Khan and say to myself that his vision for humanity is in line with my philosophy because I am a humanist. I also believe that people with all the resources are in a better position to bring change in their immediate vicinity.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW stressed on importance of charity throughout his life, the topic of charity is been discussed in Quran and you can find mustanid hadees regarding this as well. I ask my self this question why? And the answer I get is because this will make you thankful to Allah to what you have, makes you humble and trust me on this when I say the satisfaction you get from inside through this act is higher than any worldly possessions one might have’.
He further added:
‘Our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW also stressed on education, there is a hadees which says, a muslim is compatible with his time. How can one be compatible, in my eyes through education’.
On closing remarks Mr Ubaid Ur Rehman Shaikh said:
‘I strongly believe and this is my vision that nations should work together on different projects for the under privileged, it could be a basic necessity project like providing clean water, providing basic health care or providing world class education to children who cannot afford it. And I am proud to announce that this is the first time in history of Namal that two non Pakistanis joined Namal Scholarship Club on my call. We can provide this platform to them so they can make informed decisions and will bring the social change in Pakistan, they are the future of Pakistan, which is very bright. Insha Allah ‘
There was a lavish dinner after the presentation, which was thoroughly appreciated by the guests.
Dinner was followed by a certificate awarding ceremony for those who joined Namal Scholarship Club.
