PETALING JAYA: PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan has sent out festive greetings to all Malaysians in conjunction with Christmas. "I wish a Merry Christmas to all Malaysians who celebrate it, may we all be in peace and harmony in our beloved country. "Differences of opinion are a blessing in Islam," Takiyuddin said in a statement on Tuesday (Dec 25). Takiyuddin and Mustaqim’s stance is in contrast to PAS Youth chief Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi, who had warned Muslims not to celebrate Christmas as it is against the teachings of Islam. “They celebrate Christmas with such elements and claim that Prophet Isa (Jesus) is the son of God,” he reportedly said during a lecture in Kuala Terrengganu on Sunday (Dec 23) night.
