MELAKA, Aug 3 (BERNAMA) -- Efforts to strengthen ties among Malaysia’s Arab-Hadrami community continue with the sixth Himpunan 1,000 Jamaah, jointly organised by Al Jamiatul Khairiah and Al-Wafaa Melaka, celebrating the community’s heritage across states and generations.
Jointly organised by Al Jamiatul Khairiah and Al-Wafaa Melaka, the gathering saw more than 500 members attend the event last night in Ayer Keroh, along with Yemen’s Ambassador to Malaysia, Dr Adil Bahamid.
“Besides honouring prominent figures, this gathering recognises the contributions of the Hadrami community to the nation’s history, particularly in spreading Islam, trade and social development over the centuries,” said Al Jamiatul Khairiah president Datuk Seri Syed Hussein Al-Habshee.
“We want the younger generation to value the dedication, knowledge and noble character of their ancestors who came here with a mission of faith and enterprise,” he said, adding that the event will be expanded to every state, with the next edition planned for Terengganu next year.
Meanwhile, Dr Adil welcomed the initiative, saying that it is also a bridge for closer ties between Malaysians and the global Hadrami community.
He said the gathering reinforces Malaysia’s role as a hub for inclusive Islamic culture, in line with the principles of moderation and harmony among different races and religions.
