Dr AFM Khalid Hossain, the Religious Affairs Adviser, has stated that patriots never launder money abroad.
"Patriots cannot syphon off the country's money abroad. We want to build a society free of corruption," he said on Thursday night as the keynote speaker at Cumilla Al Quran Academy's International Qirat Conference, held at Cumilla Central Eidgah Maidan.
Khalid Hossain stated that after 54 years of independence, the Alem-Ulama (Islamic scholars) now have the opportunity to rise to power, but if they make a mistake this time, they may have to wait another 54 years.
He said that the Holy Quran must be followed in all aspects of life and that anyone who deviates from its teachings is not truly patriotic. He added that efforts have been made to introduce Quranic teaching in the country's prisons.
Qari Sheikh Ahmad bin Yusuf Azhari of Bangladesh, Sheikh Ahmad Al Jawhari of Egypt, Qari Anwarul Hasan Shah Bukhari of Pakistan, Qari Mahdi Ghulam Nezad of Iran, and Qari Muhammad Nazir Asgar of the Philippines all recited Quran at the Qirat conference.
Tamirul Ummah Trust President Qazi Din Mohammad, Cumilla Al Quran Academy President Md Nuruddin Ahmed, Secretary Dr Mujahidul Islam, Insaf Group Chairman Professor AKM Emdadul Haque Mamun, Cumilla City Jamaat Secretary Mahbubur Rahman, Cumilla South District BNP General Secretary VP Ashiqur Rahman Mahmud Wasim, AB Party Cumilla District President Miah Mohammad Tawfiq, and Al Quran Academy Finance Secretary Faiz Ahmed were among those in attendance.
