A documentary was played presenting the life of Dr Hasan Murad and explaining the remarks of people about him.

Dr Naushaba Hasan Murad greeted all the attendees and thanked them for their valuable time. She presented a few points from the book to let the audience know what is being told in it.

Dr Amjad Saqib, Founder Akhuwat Foundation, in his address said that taking the name of Dr Hasan is a great honour for me. He shared that Dr Hasan has left behind a legacy that will always keep him alive in the hearts and minds of people. His traits included good character and good communication and the list is never-ending. Dr Hasan saw a dream of an era that inculcates leadership, technology, management, and governance and Pakistan will become a flourished country one day. He concluded his speech by saying that if you want to change the world or society the first step is changing yourself.

Ameer ul Aziz, a friend of Dr Hasan Murad, expressed that “Ilm, Amal, Zindagi” is a collection of all the aspects of the life of a person. This book has words that change your life, refine your character and persuade you to do good deeds.

Salman Ghani stated that every life is a journey that ends on death. Dr Hasan Sohaib Murad is the name of thought and leadership. In his book, almost 15 to 20 topics are on leadership.
