Muslims, non-Muslims in Malaysia should strengthen harmonious relationship

KANGAR: The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail has called on Muslims and non-Muslims in Malaysia to further strengthen their harmonious relationship towards building a sustainable nation.
In that context, he advised all communities to continue to learn about and appreciate each other's culture and customs.
"Islam is a religion of mercy for all humanity. The dignity and glory of man lies in his obedience to Allah.
The Chinese community may feel Islam is not close with them," said Tuanku Syed Faizuddin.
He said, however, that Islam did not forbid any cultures or customs as long as it did not go against the principles of Islam such as those with elements of idolatry, superstition and those which destroyed morals.
He was addressing the Chinese Mulsim community at a state-level Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs council here, last night.
Raja Puan Muda Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil was also present. — Bernama
