51 Serving Humanity—A Form Of Worship Of Allah all humankind to foster a spirit of brotherhood and mutual love amongst the peoples of all nations and of all beliefs. Regrettably, the sad truth remains that instead of elevating our standards of love and compassion, the opposite is proving true. Selfishness, greed and a culture of ‘me’, is prevailing across the world and across society. Thus, I pray with all my heart, that mankind forsakes greed and forgoes the pursuit of narrow self- interests, and instead comes to recognise the importance of pro- tecting all of humanity and of showing kindness, compassion and love to God’s creation. I pray that a spirit of service to humanity takes permanent root in society, so that we protect our future and leave behind a better world for our children and coming generations to live in. May Allah the Almighty enable all of us to fulfil our responsibili- ties in this regard, Aameen. With these words, I would like to once again thank all of our guests for joining us at today’s event. Thank you very much.
