  "account": "Sultan Nazrin of Perak emphasized that true love for Prophet Muhammad should be demonstrated through living his teachings, not just through ceremonies or words. He stated that the Prophet's teachings, character, and practices should deeply influence an individual's daily conduct and contribute to the strength of the Muslim community. Sultan Nazrin spoke at a state-level Maulidur Rasul celebration themed \"Fostering Muslim Character – Fortifying the Identity of the Ummah\". He highlighted that a strong Muslim character originates from within, encompassing identity, character, principles, faith, Islamic law, piety, knowledge, and noble conduct. These values are reflected in one's thoughts, speech, actions, and overall way of life. He noted that the Muslim community's identity is not uniform, as Muslims live in diverse cultures and face various influences. While religious identity remains strong, the understanding and practice of Islam vary among Muslims. Some practice Islam without genuine understanding or embracing the faith, leading to a decline in fundamental Islamic principles and values in everyday life.",
  "summary": "IPOH: The commemoration of Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) birth should extend beyond religious ceremonies, serving as a reminder for Muslims to reflect on how deeply his teachings shape their character and way of life.",
