Zahid, Fadillah urge Muslims to embody Prophet's values
KUALA LUMPUR: Maulidur Rasul should be observed by commemorating the birth of Prophet Muhammad and emulating his sirah, character and Sunnah as guidance in all aspects of life, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof have encouraged Muslims to follow the example set by Prophet Muhammad by embodying his teachings and character in their daily lives. Zahid conveyed his wishes for Maulidur Rasul 1448H to continue nurturing Muslims' affection for the Prophet, foster unity, and inspire contributions to society. He hoped the celebration would strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and encourage Muslims to bring mercy and goodness to society.
Fadillah emphasized that Maulidur Rasul is more than just remembering the Prophet's life or reciting selawat; it is about living his Sunnah and character in everyday life. Prophet Muhammad, according to Fadillah, was the best role model, demonstrating compassion, trustworthiness, justice, patience, and ihsan. Fadillah urged Muslims to avoid allowing differences to create division and instead choose compassion, wisdom, and brotherhood over hostility, emotion, and discord.
He stressed that these values align with this year's Maulidur Rasul theme, "Madani Dihayati, Ummah Diberkati," which urges Muslims to practice trustworthiness, benevolence, courtesy, and mutual respect in all aspects of life while strengthening unity. Fadillah also encouraged Muslims to apply these values in their work, family life, community interactions, and civic responsibilities.
He concluded by wishing Malaysia continued peace, unity, and prosperity, and blessed life for all its people.
