following message to the "ceremony for free distribution of copies of
Holy Quran by Amin Hawa Waqf", which was read at the ceremony by

Esteemed leaders of various Islamic schools of thought, Islamic
religious leaders, representatives of Islamic faith of various States
and Divisions and Maulvis of mosques and teachers of madarasas:-
On this auspicious day, I would like to wish, with true cetana,
health and happiness in both body and mind to all leaders of the
Islamic faith and representatives who are attending this grand
ceremony for distribution of free copies of Holy Quran, which has
never been witnessed in the history of Myanmar Muslims.
Due to the special respect and privilege given in Myanmar
Naing-Ngan for freedom of religion to enable all to profess the
religion of their choice which is the fundamental human right has
enabled the four major religions to exist in peace and unity and to
flourish. All citizens who reside in the country are well aware of
this, understand it and rejoice at it.
The four major religions, which are professed by the majority
of the people in Myanmar Naing-Ngan, are all fulfilling the needs and
bringing benefits to mankind in the present world as well as
hereafter. In doing so, there are also religious scriptures which
play vital roles in giving guidance and showing the right path and
therefore, the ceremony for distributing free Holy Quran in which the
people of Islamic faith believe in, today, is an auspicious religious
ceremony for the people of Islamic faith.
Thus, I would like to wish health and happiness to those of
Islamic faith who are attending this ceremony for distribution of
copies of Holy Quran, which is based on the guidance of "Allah the
Almighty" in whom the people of Islamic faith trust and believe.
