THE MADANI government has continued its efforts this year to uphold and strengthen Islam based on the values of compassion, justice and wisdom, positioning it not merely as an identity but as a foundation for national governance and leadership, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
In a post on X on Monday, Anwar said these efforts had been reinforced through engagements and intellectual discourse with renowned Islamic scholars from Malaysia and abroad, conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust.
He said the meetings provided a platform for frank exchanges of views on the challenges facing the Muslim community and the role of Islamic leadership in an increasingly tested and complex world.
“I stressed the need for Islamic leaders to be firmer and more courageous on matters affecting the interests of the ummah, and to be actively involved in seeking solutions that are just and dignified, including in championing the humanitarian rights of our brothers and sisters who continue to suffer in Gaza,” Anwar said.
In a separate post on Facebook, the prime minister reiterated that the approach had enabled “honest exchanges of views on the challenges faced by the ummah and the role of Islamic leadership in a world that is becoming increasingly tested”.
“This includes fighting for the humanitarian rights of our brothers and sisters who continue to suffer in Gaza,” he said.
Anwar also expressed hope that every step taken to elevate Islam would be guided by trust and wisdom, and would bring benefit not only to the Muslim community but to humanity as a whole. -December 31, 2025
