Tagging Mushtaq Ahmed in the post, he termed the situation as an eye-opening experience. Please contribute and help the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, the 29-year-old added.

The premier said that it was the moral obligation to help distressed Afghans. The war-ravaged country has been plunged into crisis by the abrupt end of billions of dollars in foreign assistance, following the collapse of the government and return to power by the Taliban in August.
