Mais: Events influencing Muslims prohibited

SHAH ALAM: Any programme to persuade or influence a Muslim to be inclined towards another religion is prohibited in Selangor and an offence under the Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation Among Muslims) Enactment 1988, says the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) chairman.

Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof was referring to a poster being circulated online on the “Projek Artikel 11 Jom Ziarah” programme organised by Impact Malaysia, which is under the Youth and Sports Ministry.

“Mais is of the view that this programme has elements to attract the interest of youths, especially Muslim youths, to acquire knowledge related to religions other than Islam.“If this kind of programme is allowed to be organised, it can subtly and subconsciously influence the thoughts of Muslim youths to be inclined towards a religion other than Islam,” he said in a statement yesterday, Bernama reported.

However, he said learning religions other than Islam in churches or houses of worship required certain controls and restrictions to ensure that there was no element of persuading Muslims to be inclined and interested towards religions other than Islam, in addition to not involving Muslims in the rituals of other religions.
