A video uplink to the FBR offices also enabled officers of BS-17 and above working in br br field formations to hear the talk. The officers found the lecture as inspiring and br br motivating. br br Maulana Tariq Jameel spoke on real life examples, Islamic traditions, sayings of the br br Prophet (PBUH) and verses from the Quran to accentuate the need for virtues of honesty, br br truth and strength of character to deliver on the promise of civil service. br br He likened civil service to a trust of Allah reposed in men, and urged customs and IRS br br officers to see their role as guardians of a sacred trust in them by both government and br br the Pakistan people and explained examples from history where such trustees brought their br br charge safe to their masters even though they would have loved to use it themselves but br br did not do so as they were bound by a trust. Just like those historical heroes, the br br Customs and IRS officials also needed to collect tax out of people's pockets' and deposit br br it in the national exchequer, and rely on government and the Almighty Allah to take care br br of their own livelihood. br br Maulana Tariq Jameel also informed officers that they would be judged by Allah not on br br basis of how much tax they collected but what character, truthfulness and integrity they br br brought into their work, and how it benefited the public.
