Keep mosques free of politics, says Sultan

[TechnOveruleZ]

BESTARI JAYA: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has emphasised the need for preventive measures to keep mosques free of politics in order to ensure harmony and unity among Muslims.


He urged mosque and surau committees to only invite qualified imams and speakers from the Selangor Islamic Religious Depart*ment, as these were places of worship and not venues to spread political ideologies.


“I don’t want to see Malays fighting and splitting up,” he said yesterday at the opening of the RM4.6mil Rantau Panjang mosque which was built in 2009.


Sultan Sharafuddin said that as the leader of the state, he would not allow any threats to jeopardise Malays and Islam, and would take stern action against any party who sparked animosity between the communities in the state.


He also advised Malays to refrain from being too emotional and influenced by ideas and views, which brought no benefit to themselves, society and religion. — Bernama
