Renowned religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jameel on Thursday urged the nation to promote truthfulness, honesty, forgiveness and to curb the ruthless attitude from the society in line with teachings of Quran and Sunnah. He addressed at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad's Central Mosque at a public lecture arranged by Qiraat and Naat Club Senior Tutor Office, UAF.

He added that atmosphere of interest (soud), ruthless, ignorance of Islamic guidance just for little benefits, telling lies, cheating others and not fulfill the promise have become common in ones lives. He lamented that instead of following Quran and Sunnah, worship of wealth, power, respects and money had taken roots in the society and we had minimized tawakul on Allah Subhanhotallah. He said that it has become common to tell lies in our society which is not only aggravating social problems but also summing up our sins. He stressed upon students to give due respects to their parents, relatives, and teachers. He said that if we are doing our duties in the office with honestly, it is also worship. He urged the people to offer prayer five times a day for getting Nijat at the Day of Judgment. He rooted out concept that increasing population is adding up to our problems. “The increasing population is not the issue. The problems are deviation from the religion and deterioration in our moral values and characters”. We should always concentrate about attaining the goal of getting success in the life after death that would last forever. He said that by adopting the real sense of Quran and following the sayings of Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), we will progress rapidly. Talking about brotherhood, he called for flourishing the culture of love and brotherhood in the society right from the homes, offices and other places.
