Melaka first state to introduce 'lafaz taklik' document in Braille
MELAKA: Melaka has become the first state in the country to provide the "lafaz taklik' document in Braille for the visually impaired (PwD) community, as part of efforts to facilitate the process of declaring marriage agreement during their solemnisation. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusof said the initiative marks a significant step towards inclusive empowerment in Syariah legislation, as it not only allows PwD couples to fully understand their marriage vows, but also reflects the commitment of religious authorities and marriage institutions to ensure justice and inclusivity for all segments of society. "Congratulations to the Melaka Islamic Religious Department (Jaim) for its efforts to support the PwD community by diversifying initiatives that simplify procedures for them to understand and declare taklik through Braille. "This, in turn, serves as an example of how the values of Hijrah can be translated into reform and improvement, bringing religion and Islamic teachings closer to every level of society, regardless of ability or condition,' he said. He told reporters this after the state-level Maal Hijrah 1447H/2025M celebration themed "Membangun Ummah MADANI' at Masjid Al-Hakeem, Kampung Tehel, here on Thursday night (June 26). The ceremony, officiated by Melaka Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam, also saw the launch of the Guidelines and Procedures for the Management of Marriage, Divorce and Reconciliation among Muslims in Melaka. Ab Rauf also said the state government has allocated RM86,000 to 12 recipients of the 1447H/2025M Maal Hijrah Awards in recognition of their contributions and service in strengthening the development of the Muslim community in the state. "The recipient of the Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Award received an umrah package worth RM10,000 and RM10,000 in cash, while the other 11 awardees each received a 'Pakej Kembara Ilmiah' worth RM3,000 and RM3,000 in cash,' he added.- Bernama

Tun Mohd Ali Launches Travel Memoir Documenting Early 20th Century Islamic World
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 (Bernama) -- Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Melaka Tun Dr Mohd Ali Mohd Rustam today launched Jejak Haramain ke Istanbul: Februari 1910 – November 1910, a historical travel memoir chronicling the spiritual and intellectual journey of a renowned Islamic scholar in the early 20th century. The book, published by IIUM Press, was unveiled at the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation (ISTAC-IIUM). It documents the travels of the late Habib Shaikh Muhammad Hussein Al-Habshee, an esteemed scholar who journeyed through key centres of the Muslim world, including Makkah, Palestine and Istanbul, from February to November 1910. His travels aimed to strengthen Islamic fellowship and expand networks of intellectual exchange. International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Rector Professor Emeritus Datuk Dr Osman Bakar hailed the work as a vital historical document that reconnects Southeast Asia with the broader legacy of Islamic scholarship. 'Jejak Haramain ke Istanbul reminds us that true knowledge is built on three pillars, namely, sincere intention, a purposeful journey and deep respect for tradition. 'It represents an integration of knowledge and ethical conduct, which aligns closely with IIUM's mission as 'The Garden of Knowledge and Virtue',' he noted. The launch also saw the attendance of political secretary to the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Religious Affairs Dr Muhamad Razak Idris, IIUM President Tan Sri Samsudin Osman, and Johor Malay Association for the Federal Territories and Selangor president Datuk Seri Dr Syed Hussien Abd Kadir Al-Habshee, along with academics and university students. Syed Hussien, the grandson of the late scholar, encouraged today's youth to revive the traditional Islamic practice of rihlah ilmu or the journey for knowledge.
