MUSLIMS MUST STRENGTHEN UNITY TO MAINTAIN DISTINCTION
PUTRAJAYA, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysian deputy King Tuanku
Abdul Halim Muadzam Syah said Friday Muslims must strengthen their brotherhood and enhance their achievements to continue being a community of distinction.
He said that they would not be able to become a model community and would
instead be despised and belittled if they did not follow the Islamic teachings.
"History has shown that the supremacy of the Islamic civilisation in the past
was finally ended because there were followers who did not fully practise the
Islamic teachings.
"What's more saddening is the disunity, friction and disputes that have occurred
among the Muslims themselves," he said at the national-level Maulidur Rasul
celebration at the Putra Mosque here.
Present were the Sultanah of Kedah, Tuanku Hajah Haminah Hamidun, Prime Minister
Najib Razak and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin
Yassin and his wife, Noorainee Abdul Rahman.
Tuanku Abdul Halim said Muslims must learn from past incidents and return to the
teaching of Prophet Muhammad in their daily lives to become truly good Muslims.
He said this year's Maulidur Rasul theme, "Memantap Ukhuwah Meperkasa Ummah"
(Strengthening the Brotherhood, Empowering the Community), required Muslims to
follow the brotherhood displayed by Prophet Muhammad and use Islamic teachings
to develop the community.
"In moving forward, Muslims must always be prepared and equip themselves with
various skills and information to keep up with the times.
"Complacency and fear to compete must be discarded and replaced with positive
values that can build the inner strength of the true Muslim," he added.
He said the Quran and the Sunnah must be used as a guide to build inner strength
towards developing a sustainable and successful Muslim community.
He said Muslims should strive to be the best, value achievement and be able to
bring about change for the good and not just follow the direction and culture of
others.
"In fact, Muslims should constantly strive for success and craft
development. This is the spirit that every Muslim, who accepts and is confident of
the teaching of Prophet Muhhamad, must have."
He said Islam called on its followers to strive for excellence in every aspect
of their lives and they in turn should equip themselves with strong faith,
knowledge, noble character and help one another to achieve good.
"I'm sure that the light of Islam will continue to shine on this beloved Earth
and shower it with blessing and love," he said.
