PUTRAJAYA – The “Majlis Ilmu Madani” talks are organised in line with efforts to give the people an understanding of the meaning of the Madani nation introduced by the government, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said last night.
He said such an understanding mainly entails basic values that underpin the formation of a Madani state, which are strong beliefs, good morals, and the development of true Islamic character.
“Use this to apply values in various fields, in economic sustainability, in digital technology, in the concept of compassion and mercy to alleviate the poor’s burdens, and protecting the people as a whole,” he said.
Anwar, who is also finance minister, said this in his brief speech when attending the “Majlis Ilmu Madani with the Prime Minister” event at the Seri Perdana Complex here yesterday.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar was also present.
Earlier, Anwar, accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, arrived at the Seri Perdana Complex at about 7.15pm before joining about 300 congregants to perform the Maghrib prayer led by the Putra Mosque imam, Abdul Karim Zakaria.
The prime minister then spent about an hour following a knowledge-sharing session with three invited guests, namely the imam of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri; UK religious scholar, Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Saad Al-Maliki Al-Azhari Al-Hasani and Sheikh Muhammad Haydara Al-Jilani, a religious scholar from Gambia. – Bernama, June 19, 2023
