He recited lines from a poem on occasion that, 'Ekhi Saf Mein Khade Ho Gaye Mahmood O Ayaz, Na Koi Banda Raha, Na Koi Banda Nawaaz' (meaning, the king and slave stood in the same row).

In his introductory remarks, Naushad Usman, the Call Executive of the Islamic Information Centre, introduced a toll-free number that clears all the misconceptions related to mosques and Islam.

At the beginning, Hafiz Arif recited the Quran.
