The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, has assured that efforts to strengthen the faith and religious understanding of Muslims in Malaysia, as decreed by Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, will be swiftly implemented. Mohd Na’im stated that agencies such as the Department of Islam ic Development Malaysia (Jakim) will collaborate with state Islam ic authorities to enhance religious outreach efforts and reinforce Islam ic faith.
He emphasized that Jakim is also working closely with the Ministry of National Unity to organize the Harmony Dialogue programme, which promotes interfaith understanding and national unity. \The minister further explained that the Interfaith Harmony Committee Meeting platform will be utilized to further strengthen harmony and foster interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims. This announcement follows Sultan Sharafuddin's firm opposition to a proposal to introduce guidelines for Muslims attending non-Muslim celebrations. The Sultan emphasized that as a multiracial and multi-religious nation, Malaysia must uphold religious tolerance, which should never be compromised. \As the Head of Islam in Selangor, His Royal Highness deemed the proposed guidelines ill-timed, particularly when Malaysians are actively fostering goodwill among different communities to strengthen national unity. Sultan Sharafuddin also urged Muslims, particularly in Selangor, to continue to strengthen their faith and reminded all citizens to respect and acknowledge Islam as the religion of the Federation, as enshrined in the Federal Constitution
