KHULNA, Nov 10, 2024 (BSS) - Religious Affairs Adviser Dr A F M Khalid Hossain said that the interim government would hold a free, fair and acceptable election and hand over power to the next elected government.
 
"The task of the interim government is to hand over charges to those who will win in elections," he told the 65th 'Waaz mahfil and destarband' ceremony of Shiromony Hafizia Madrasa at Shiromony Secondary School in Khulna city as the chief guest.
 
About the hajj, the adviser said that the interim government has reduced the cost of hajj by over Tk one lakh. Besides, efforts are underway to provide more facilities to pilgrims.
 
The present government, he said, is also trying to create an opportunity so that pilgrims can go to perform hajj by ship.
 
The religious adviser also said a Muslim should understand the meaning of the Holy Quran and use its teaching in daily life.
 
He also mentioned that the social system of the country will change if the instructions given by the Almighty Allah are followed properly.

Although it is not the mother tongue, the achievement of Bangladeshi children in the Arabic competition in the world is very glorious, the adviser said.
 
He also called for proper education system for children so that they can contribute to the propagation of religion. The Holy Quran should be read with understanding its connotation, and then only its virtues will be known. "What Allah wants to tell us in each surah and verse (Ayaat) will be understood," he added.
 
The adviser assured the Madrasa authority of providing all-out cooperation for the development of the madrasa.
