He said “the days of Ramadan are like other days of our lives. They are sign posts that we are in a journey toward our final destination, the successful is the one who is not distracted but remained focused.
“Ramadan period will not wait for anyone, let’s use its days, some people usually miss opportunities only to end up regretting.
“There are ample opportunities for us in Ramadan. Patience, kindness, care and resistance to temptations are attributes we should learn to live with during Ramadan and beyond.”
