Haji Ghulam Ali said that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) who was too an orphan is a torch bearer and blessing for the entire universe. It was the strength of the Holy Prophet’s character and preaching through self-example and charms of personality that molded the hearts and minds of the people and compelled the enemies to embrace Islam, he added.
He said that provision of education facilities and moral building of the youth is necessary to make them best human and good citizens. Peace, tolerance, kindness and cleanliness are the basics of our religion and we can meet any challenge by adopting the Islamic way of life.

The Governor said that fostering and supporting orphans is a noble deed and the people involved in such deeds are pious.
