THE MISSION TO GIVE VISION
MY Prayer
God has created the human being with brain and thinking faculty. He has commanded His creation that the faculty be used with reasoning to reach His image. This is the mission of human life.
" Oh Almighty, create thoughts and actions
in the minds of the people of my nation
so that they live united.
Oh Almighty, bless my people
a path of life with righteousness
as righteousness gives the strength of character.
Help all religious leaders of my country to
give strength to the people to combat the divisive forces.

I am delighted to be among all the children, their teaching staff and parents here in your school in Dubai. Children in their innocence have a pure and noble mind and they enter our beautiful universe with a natural urge to seek and know more and more about themselves, and the world of life and man. Education is a societal response to satisfy this urge, and perfection in education has always been the goal of enlightened societies.

It is a great honour that you have bestowed on the Government and people of India, and indeed a delight for me, to address this highest Assembly of your ancient and great nation.

This and our value system would be with us when we - India and Sudan move forward to the future.
