Sultan Johor Says New "Fatwa" Not In Conflict With "Bangsa Johor" Concept




SULTAN JOHOR SAYS NEW ‘FATWA’ NOT IN CONFLICT WITH ‘BANGSA JOHOR’ CONCEPT

HM The Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar today (3rd Feb) reaffirmed the “Bangsa Johor” concept, saying the racial and religious diversity of Johor will always be recognised and respected.

He said the ‘fatwa’ (decree) issued by the Johor Islamic Religious Council yesterday was in no way in conflict with inter-faith values of tolerance, unity and understanding as espoused under the ‘Bangsa Johor” concept. 

“The ‘fatwa’ only prohibits Muslims from taking part in other religious rituals. It is a guideline for them. They can still attend festive events of other faiths,” stressed His Majesty.

“Other religions must also respect Muslims’ sensitivities. It is a two-way street. We must be sensitive to each other’s religious obligations in order to get along,” he added.

Sultan Ibrahim noted that as all religions emphasise good values like compassion, respect, tolerance, moderation and kindness, Malaysians should focus on these common values rather than on our racial or religious differences.

“I hope with this explanation, we can put a stop to any confusion on the new ‘fatwa’ as it only clarifies what is permissible to Muslims and forbidden in Islam,” he said.

“If you’re still confused, please see the State Mufti for further clarification, “ he said.

JOHOR BAHRU, 3 Feb (Bernama) --Sultan Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar bertitah bahawa fatwa melarang umat Islam mengambil bahagian dalam ritual agama lain di negeriini tidak bercanggah dengan nilai toleransi, perpaduan dan persefahaman antara agama.

Titah baginda, kepelbagaian kaum dan agama dianuti rakyat berbilang kaum seperti di bawah konsep Bangsa Johor akan sentiasa diiktraf dan dihormati di negeri ini.

“Fatwa itu hanya melarang umat Islam daripada mengambil bahagian dalam ritual agama lain. Ia adalah garis panduan untuk mereka. Meraka masih boleh menghadiri majlisperayaan agama lain.

Agama lain juga mesti menghormati sensitiviti umat Islam. Ia adalah jalan dua hala. Kita mesti peka terhadap kewajipan agama masing-masing untuk berbaik-baik,” titah Sultan Ibrahim, dalam kenyataan menerusi Facebooknya, hari ini.

Baginda bertitah semua agama menekankan nilai-nilai murni seperti belas kasihan, hormat-menghormati, toleransi, kesederhanaan dan kebaikan.

Sultan Ibrahim turut bertitah rakyat Malaysia harus memberi tumpuan terhadap nilai-nilai bersama ini yang menyatukan masyarakat dan bukannya perbezaan kaum atau agama.

“Saya harap dengan penjelasan ini, kita dapat menghentikan sebarang kekeliruan mengenai fatwa baharu itu kerana ia hanya menjelaskan perkara yang dibenarkan kepada umat Islam dan dilarang dalam Islam.

“Jika anda masih keliru, sila berjumpa Mufti negeri untuk penjelasan lanjut,” titah baginda.

Sultan Ibrahim telah memperkenan fatwa tersebut yang dikeluarkan oleh Majlis Agama Islam Johor (MAINJ), semalam.
