Muslims should be born again and be faithful in all their endeavours
to accelerate economic, social and political growth," he prayed.

enable them to solve problems confronting the nation collectively.

unity and tenacity of purpose to promote the country's development.She
noted that they had to be steadfast with their prayers since women and
children were most vulnerable in times of conflict.
