Rayareddi mentioned that there are many misconceptions about Islam, expressing his desire to study the Holy Quran and gain a broader understanding of its teachings, alongside his wish to perform the pilgrimage.

Islam focuses on humanitarian and ethical values and provides a way of life based on respecting human beings while steering clear of religious or class intolerance.<\/p>\n
