Selangor's Islamic heritage festival goes national
PUTRAJAYA: The Selangot Festival Turath Islami will go national for the first time this year, rebranded as the Festival Turath Islami Malaysia (FTIM) 2026.
PUTRAJAYA: For the first time, the Selangor Festival Turath Islami has expanded nationally as the Festival Turath Islami Malaysia (FTIM) 2026. Selangor's Chief Minister Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari unveiled the eighth edition, set to take place at Masjid Putra, with the theme Hikmah Warisan Islam (Wisdom of Islamic Heritage). This theme draws from influential Islamic texts, including the revered work on sincerity, reliance in Allah, and the servant-creator relationship.
The grand mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Dr Ali Juma, will join 23 local and international scholars at the eight-day event, which will centre around the classical Sufi text Al-Hikam al-Ata'iyyah by Ibnu Atha-illah As-Sakandari. Selangor's involvement in this national festival underscores the shared commitment of both state and federal governments to balance economic growth with the strengthening of Islamic scholarship.
Amirudin emphasized that this year's festival is not just a slogan, but a call to revive the tradition of knowledge, fostering a confident community and advancing the nation's civilisation.
