She then described that Night of Ascension is a blessed night to ask forgiveness from Almighty Allah. She gave many related hadiths explaining the importance and preparation for Ramadhan. The speech was very inspiring.

Later Sister Rakhshanda briefly talked about the MQI membership and highlighted the importance of and guidelines for Halqath and Tajweed course and welfare.

Many participants were inspired by the event and became members of MQI, whilst numerous others wanted to become more involved in the regular activities which are happening at the local level.
