SHAH ALAM, June 26 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has called on Muslims to use the new Hijrah year as an opportunity to renew their resolve to become better Muslims who embody compassion and embrace the true meaning of ukhwah (brotherhood) and love for one another.
In a royal message posted on the Selangor Royal Office’s Facebook page, His Royal Highness reminded that amid the trials and turbulence of today’s world, the people must refrain from quarreling simply due to differing views or preferences.
“Islam teaches us that the strength of the ummah lies in unity, not division. Do not let hatred and resentment destroy the harmony we have built together.
“It is deeply saddening that slander, backbiting, and sowing discord have become commonplace. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reminded us to guard our tongues, as a sharp tongue can inflict wounds deeper than a sword,” His Royal Highness said.
Furthermore, His Royal Highness stressed that the culture of bringing each other down and fault-finding must also come to an end, instead, gentle and wise counsel must be offered to ensure that the brotherhood remains preserved.
The Selangor Sultan also urged Muslims not to be self-proclaimed heroes or feel so self-important that they disregard the rights and contributions of others.
