Efforts to strengthen religious institutions must remain a priority, says Tuanku Muhriz in Maal Hijrah address
SEREMBAN: Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir has ordered that efforts to strengthen religious institutions and enhance the efficiency of Islamic administrative law enforcement in the state must continue to be prioritised. His Royal Highness said that religious issues must be referred to religious authorities and should not be interpreted by individuals or groups, as doing so could lead to confusion, tension, and conflict within society. "I fully support all initiatives aimed at upholding the sovereignty of Islam. "I believe the Mentri Besar and the state administrative machinery will carry out their responsibilities with determination and dedication to ensure that the agenda of unity among the people of this state is effectively implemented," His Royal Highness said in the royal address in conjunction with the state-level Maal Hijrah 1447 celebrations at Masjid Negeri here Thursday (June 26). Tunku Ampuan Besar of Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Aishah Rohani Tengku Besar Mahmud, and their sons, Tunku Besar Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin and Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin were also in attendance. Tuanku Muhriz also stressed that while Islam holds a special position in the country, its sanctity must be upheld without compromising the rights and fairness of the practice of other religions. The Negri Sembilan Ruler said that just as the Hijrah (migration) marked the exaltation of Islam's dignity and civilisation, society too must embark on its form of migration by striving to improve moral character, sincerity, and diligence in daily life, following Islamic teachings. "In essence, Hijrah begins within each individual. A renewal of attitude grounded in noble and virtuous values is the foundation for building a more dignified society and a more excellent nation. This emphasis must also begin at home, through religious upbringing, love, and the exemplary conduct of parents," His Royal Highness said. Tuanku Muhriz said the transformation process becomes more meaningful when guided by knowledge, as it allows individuals to understand the wisdom behind religious commandments, discern right from wrong, and make wise decisions when choosing the correct path in life. "Thus, a hijrah guided by knowledge will lead to more genuine transformation and bring about a positive impact not only on the individual but also on the community," Tuanku Muhriz added. Tuanku Muhriz stated that the Hijrah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrates that Islam is not a religion concerned solely with spiritual practices, but a comprehensive and complete way of life that encompasses all aspects of human existence, including both worldly affairs and the hereafter. - Bernama

Hijrah a turning point for change, environmental action, says Sultan Nazrin
IPOH: All sectors of society must come together to address the escalating environmental crisis, and the beginning of the 1447 Hijrah should serve as a turning point for reflection and transformation - a moment to break away from the destructive depravity that continues to harm our planet. Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah said the world today is facing a series of environmental phenomena that have triggered widespread disasters, endangering both human well-being and the sustainability of our planet. "The growing population, rising urban density, land clearing for new settlements, infrastructure development, urban expansion, and industrial activity have all directly impacted the natural environment. "This Earth belongs to Allah. Let us honour and give thanks for the divine blessings we have received - not by defying His commands, but by ending all forms of harm and injustice toward the natural world. Only then can we hope to be spared from the calamities of environmental destruction and live in peace beneath the shelter of divine mercy and compassion," he said when launching the state-level Maal Hijrah 1447H celebration here Thursday (June 26) night. Also present were the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim and the Raja Di Hilir of Perak, Raja Iskandar Dzurkarnain Sultan Idris Shah. Sultan Nazrin said that this year, Perak has chosen the theme "Migration and Sustainability: Uniting the Muslim Community, Preserving the Earth" for the Maal Hijrah 1447 commemoration. "It responds to the escalating distress of our ailing planet, marked by increasingly frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, erratic climate patterns, global warming, devastating wildfires, and widespread flooding, all of which continue to endanger lives and livelihoods," he said. His Royal Highness also said that Islam firmly prohibits all forms of pollution that harm the environment. "A damaged ecosystem not only affects humankind but also disrupts the balance of the entire natural world, leading to disaster and danger. "Destroying habitats and endangering the lives of other creatures is regarded in Islam as a grave sin, and those who commit such acts are condemned. It is profoundly irresponsible for individuals, whom Allah has blessed with intellect and reason, to knowingly choose the path of destruction," he said. His Royal Highness further said that Islamic outreach serves to liberate humankind from the chains of oppression, destruction, tyranny, division, devastation, abuse of power, and all that contradicts the true nature of human dignity. "Islam offers a path of renewal - grounded in values and noble character - that uplifts the worth of every individual, enhances the quality of life, nurtures the Earth, and restores rightful claims. "These rights are not limited to humanity alone, but extend to every element of creation. For nature, too, is part of the divine trust, ever in interaction with us and never passive in its response," he added. - Bernama
