He urged those in attendance to maintain a balance between the two extremes.

Among other points he raised includes the need for Muslims to be knowledgeable on the teachings from the  holy book; Qu'ran, that the month of ramadan abhors laziness, and Muslim worshippers should see prayer as divine, and one of the important factors to success.
