KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has urged Malaysians to
always appreciate and preserve the peace and prosperity the country is
enjoying and discard prejudices against each other to ensure continued
stability.
The Prime Minister said it was vital to realise that it was not easy to build and maintain a stable nation as what Malaysia is today.
He said in the context of Islam, national unity could not be achieved if there was no unity among Muslims, adding that constant polemics would be detrimental to all parties.
In his Hari Raya message, Najib noted that the people could celebrate the occasion in peace, free from wars, conflicts or natural disasters that besieged certain countries.
“So, on such special occasions as this, for the sake of our beloved country, let us foster and continue to plant the seeds of unity.”
Najib also urged Malaysians to learn from the destruction and upheavals caused by extremist beliefs in some countries.
He also urged Muslims not to deviate from Islamic teachings based on the Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah sect.
“I urge all Muslims to be vigilant against being deceived by deviant ideologies being spread to destroy the traditional Islamic practice in Malaysia,” he said.
Najib said Malaysian Muslims should understand that the declaration of the Ahli Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah as the official mazhab (sect) was aimed at ensuring the sanctity of the faith and for Islamic syariah to be advocated and defended to maintain Muslim unity.
He urged Malaysians to open the door of their hearts and homes in the spirit of Hari Raya.
He said people should also be appreciative of the country’s security forces, particularly those at the frontlines, who risk their lives to safeguard the sovereignty of the nation.
Najib also took the opportunity to seek forgiveness on behalf of himself, his wife and family members if they had offended anyone, adding that he prayed that Malaysians could celebrate this Eid in joy with their loved ones.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said Muslims should safeguard the peace, harmony and stability achieved here.
He said unity and prosperity were built over a long time and were not something that came about in the blink of an eye. — Bernama
