He also said, I sat silently for a long time and prayed. I thought what should I do from my place. I didn’t find anything. So I request those who can do for them, especially the government and related authorities, to stand by these helpless people. Do something for them. If not, you will have to answer in the hereafter. Let’s do something while we are in this world, so that we can answer well in the Hereafter. May Allah bless everyone to do good work. Take care everyone. Amen.’
