'Religious values correct human character with perfection'
Religion Affairs Adviser Dr. AFM Khalid Hossain said if every member of society focuses on practicing religion, the crime rate will fall in the society.
He made the remarks as the chief guest while laying the foundation stone of a model mosque and inaugurated the construction work of two other mosques at a cost of Tk 40 crore in Hathazari, Raojan and Rangunia upazilas of Chattogram district on Friday, BSS reports.
The adviser said that the government has built this mosque at a cost of Tk 13 crore, and now it is the responsibility of the local people to maintain the mosque.
"By establishing a mosque-based society, everyone in the community should regularly attend the mosque. The mosque should be kept functional and five daily prayers should be offered in the mosque," he added.
The Islamic Foundation (IF) under the Ministry of Religious Affairs is constructing 564 mosques and Islamic cultural centers across the country as part of the Model Mosque and Islamic Cultural Center Construction Project. He emphasized that prayers keep everyone free from all kinds of bad deeds and awaken the sense of morality among people and uphold human values.
