Sheik Abdul Salam emphasised that leading holy lives was not only a religious obligation but a requirement to promote peaceful coexistence and national development.

He, therefore, urged all to eschew vices and live peacefully with one another.

He also urged parents to take good care of their children to enable them to realize their potential saying children were a gift from Allah.
