Governing Body member Iqbal Latif said that Iqbal Latif said that due to her religious studies and melodious voice Farhana actively attracted the audience.

Professor Dr. Sajida Parveen said that Farhana’s journey with religious studies is still ongoing. She seized my heart with her good manners. It’s amazing that when you travel by plane, you hear her voice on the PIA boarding announcements. She further said that living within their limits and making a name for herself in male-dominated societies is her excellence.

News anchor Naeem Sultan, expressing his views, said that mentioning Farhana’s successes in such a short time is very challenging. She is a graceful, dignified, intelligent, professional, and extremely talented woman. He said that Farhana has showcased her talent in Ramadan transmissions, remained a preference for major channels, and it’s astonishing that even while traveling by plane, her voice is heard in the PIA’s boarding announcements.

Dr. Farhana Owais said that “It is Allah’s grace that after 30 years, I have been honoured today. I thank all of you who have shown so much love. I prayed to Allah for a good voice and knowledge for serving religion. Allah gives many opportunities to humans.” She added, “Appearing on television news was merely a coincidence. I was offered roles in dramas and movies, but hosting religious programs was my personal interest because I’ve observed that women are rarely seen in religious programs.

When a person focuses and concentrates on a task, success becomes their destiny.
