“Islam lays great emphasis on the social side of things. Every day, the rich and the poor, the great and the small living in a locality are brought five times in a day in the mosque in the terms of perfect equality of mankind and thereby the foundation of a healthy social relationship is laid and established through prayer. At the end of Ramazan comes the new moon, the crescent as a signal for a mass gathering on the 'Id day again in perfect equality of mankind which effects the entire Muslim world.” WorldEndsSocialSidesTermPrayerPerfectPoorRichFiveMankindEffectsHealthyMoonMassFoundationLaysIslamSignalsEmphasisGatheringMosquesNew MoonMuslim WorldLocalityCrescentSocial Relationships Author:Muhammad Ali Jinnah
