KOTA BHARU, March 2 — The Sultan of Kelantan, Tuanku Ismail Petra Sultan Yahya Petra, has expressed concern over the divisions among Muslims which he said should be addressed urgently.
He said that of late, Muslims were facing challenges on multiple fronts including politics, economy and social as well as delinquency among teenagers.
“The split is indeed saddening and should be urgently resolved,” he said when opening the Kelantan Dakwah Month at the Balai Islam, here, last night.
Also present were the Raja Perempuan of Kelantan, Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
The Sultan therefore called on the Dakwah Month organiser to give greater emphasis on strengthening unity among Muslims.
On the propagation of Islam, Tuanku Ismail Petra said, two aspects should be given attention, namely the propagation of the religion among Muslims themselves, and those outside the religion so that they get to understand Islam and prevent prejudice towards the religion.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid called on Muslims to look at the propagation of Islam in a wider context and not just limited to delivering ceramah in mosques. He said that it should also cover all activities among the society.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid presented RM160,750 cheque from the federal government through the Malaysian Islamic Da'wah Foundation (Yadim) for the state government. — Bernama
