Addressing a public meeting held at Abul Fazal Enclave, New Delhi, the JIH President said, “in the history, our heroes are those who win forts, but in the present difficult situation which we all are facing, our heroes will be the ones who win hearts and minds.” He told the gathering that minds are won by building relationships, dispelling misunderstandings and conveying the right message, while hearts are won by serving the people selflessly, solving their problems, and becoming useful for them. Mr.Husaini advised the Muslim that the most important task to be carried out in the present hateful atmosphere is to stick to the basic principles of Islam and establish a good relationship with the fellow countrymen to change their mind and remove hatred. He urged the Muslim youths to try to create such an atmosphere in the country in the next five years in which the medium or source of the other countrymen’s knowledge about Islam should be their Muslim friends, not the media.
Advising Muslims that the present challenging situation demands them to strengthen their faith Mr.Husaini affirmed that Allah, the Almighty who turned the blind well and the hardships of the prison into ladders of throne of Egypt for Prophet Yusuf (PBUH), the same Lord of the universe, would certainly make our future better, through our ongoing trials and sufferings.
