The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has stressed that calls for Malay unity should not be misconstrued as hostility towards other races in Malaysia. Instead, united communities would contribute to a more peaceful and stable nation while fostering mutual respect. In his Aidiladha 2026 message, the ruler emphasized that all races and religions should respect one another's sensitivities and live together in peace and harmony. He drew lessons from Islamic civilization during the Ottoman Empire when multi-ethnic communities coexisted harmoniously, and expressed hope that Malays and Muslims in Malaysia would remain united from political leaders to ordinary citizens. The Sultan warned that divisions among Malay Muslims could create opportunities for external forces to exploit and weaken their position.

Instead, His Royal Highness said united communities would contribute to a more peaceful and stable nation, while fostering mutual respect among the people.
“In conjunction with the upcoming Aidiladha, I also hope that all races and religions in this country will respect one another’s sensitivities and live together in peace and harmony. “History has shown that Islamic civilisation flourished during the Ottoman Empire when multi-ethnic communities coexisted harmoniously under Islamic rule,” the ruler said in his Aidiladha 2026 message today.
Sultan Sharafuddin said Aidiladha teaches Muslims the values of sacrifice, sincerity and unity of the ummah, as millions of Muslims gather in the Holy Land regardless of rank, race or status, demonstrating a form of unity of immense significance to the Islamic world. Drawing lessons from this, His Royal Highness also expressed hope that Malays and Muslims in the country would remain united, from political leaders to ordinary citizens.
“If we continue to be divided and quarrel among ourselves, we will only weaken and disadvantage ourselves. “I have also observed an increasing number of disputes and disagreements among politicians lately, which could cause public unease. “All quarters should learn from history, where divisions among Malay Muslims created opportunities for external forces to exploit and weaken the power and position of the Malays in their own homeland,” he said.
In the royal message, Sultan Sharafuddin and the Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, also extended Aidiladha greetings to Muslims nationwide, especially those in Selangor. The royal couple also prayed for Malaysian haj pilgrims to be granted ease in performing their pilgrimage, good health, a safe return home and a ‘mabrur’ haj. — Bernama
