KUCHING, May 14 — The increase in total personal tithe collection in Sarawak this year proves that the well-being of the Muslim community in the state has improved over the years, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“So, this indicates that the socio-economic among the Muslim community in Sarawak has improved over the years,” he said in his speech during a Aidilfitri Thanksgiving Ceremony for Sarawak’s Islamic Affairs and Agencies in held at Dewan Hikmah here last night. “It means that if our economic situation is good, we will be able to assist the poor and the hardcore poor by providing education through our zakat contributions. And those who received zakat will have their lives changed because our contributions will enable them to access education and from there, they can utilise knowledge as ways to uplift their livelihood.
“I also want to state here that the Muslim community itself needs to focus on the doctrine of justice that we must give to the community between Muslims and non-Muslims. “So, this means we must maintain our harmony. Alhamdulillah, the Muslim community here always emphasises the importance of maintaining the spirit of brotherhood.
However, he said with the acquisition of scientific knowledge and better understanding of the Islamic teachings, the Muslim community in Sarawak can look to themselves to chart their own destiny without having to look across the sea for inspiration.
