According to him, this is not the time to start asking them to fund or support ongoing projects in the church or mosque but rather to support and empower the needy to survive the harsh economic situation.

“Religious leaders must understand they need to give out at this time to help sustain the situation. Give in whatever way you can to relieve your followers.

“Don’t just seek their support on projects. Nothing is small to give out be it food, money or anything you feel can relieve them to survive the hardship.

“When you give, God will bless you in multiple folds. Make them happy through giving,” he advised.
