Quotes
Asif Hussain Sohail
Sponsor of the Seerah quiz prize fund
“A mosque should not only be a place of worship but also a centre of learning, character-building, youth engagement and service to humanity. The Seerah teaches us that worship must be reflected in our character and our service to people. We want to inspire children to learn, develop good character and become responsible members of society.”
