Mosques under Jakim to hold solat hajat for PM's mission to Arab-Islamic Summit


PUTRAJAYA: Three mosques under the purview of the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) have been asked to hold solat hajat (prayers of need) to pray for the success of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s mission, as he represents Malaysia at the Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh on Nov 11.

Religious Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, in a statement on Friday (Nov 8), said that this call was especially directed to the National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, as well as the Putra Mosque and Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque in Putrajaya, which have been asked to hold the solat hajat after the Isyak prayers, starting Friday until next Monday (Nov 11).

Other mosques and surau in the Federal Territories are also encouraged to hold the prayers during the same period.

"The Religious Affairs wishes to express its full support for the Prime Minister’s firm stance in bringing forth the motion to stop Israel's atrocities against Palestine at the Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit.

"The purpose of this solat hajat is to seek Allah's blessings and protection so that the Prime Minister's mission will be successful and bring benefit to the nation and the ummah,” he said.

Mohd Na’im said the special prayer is hoped to strengthen the solidarity of Muslims across the country and unite the hearts of Malaysians in praying for the success of this important mission.

He said that the Prime Minister will convey the voice and hopes of the nation on the international stage at this summit, which is expected to address critical issues involving Islamic countries.

"The Religious Affairs is also calling on all Muslims to join in this special prayer as a sign of support and solidarity with our leader and to also pray for the well-being of the Malaysian Battalion (Malbatt) troops currently serving in Lebanon.

"May our efforts be blessed by Allah, and may Malaysia continue to remain peaceful and prosperous under His protection,” he said. - Bernama
