Religious Affairs Minister Mohd Na'im Mokhtar condemned a politician for misusing prayer during a recent capital assembly. The minister stated that accusations against national leadership within the prayer lacked foundation and created division among Muslims. Such content poses risks of encouraging extremism and radicalism within society. Prayer serves as a sacred connection between humans and Allah for seeking mercy and guidance. The public must remain alert against those who exploit prayer for narrow political purposes.
The Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia expressed serious concerns about multiple assembly incidents. Director-general Mohamed Azam Mohamed Adil criticized the recitation of Qunut Nazilah against leaders and unsubstantiated sodomy claims. Displaying symbolic effigies of leaders being punished violated Islamic principles and proper conduct. Prayer represents noble worship that requires wisdom and sincerity without emotional or political manipulation. Spreading false sodomy accusations without four reliable male witnesses constitutes qazaf under Islamic law while symbolic mockery damages Malaysian dignity standards.
