Going further, he promised to continue educating the public on the right candidates to vote for during elections.
He disclosed this at a meeting of the Muqaddimai and Shaykhs of the sect for the first time since his appointment as Caliph.
He said:
“If we have those we trust who promised they will work for the betterment of the nation, then we can come together and help them – this is not politics.”
He also said that priority should be given to education, especially for children, before the country’s problems could be addressed.
He added:
“If we did not educate our children to become successful, while other people send their children to schools, they will end up working for those ones that attend school and that’s the end."
