He noted, “Knowledge is the light that guides us towards righteousness,” and explained that only those endowed with both knowledge and piety can achieve closeness to Allah.

Addressing the challenges in Pakistan’s education sector, Dar acknowledged the need to overcome these obstacles, as education plays a crucial role in shaping the future. He also emphasised the importance of the moral upbringing of youth, stating, “It is our mission to guide the younger generation’s ethical development.”
