SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has voiced concern over a culture of slander and the spread of allegations, particularly on social media, which run counter to Islamic teachings. His Royal Highness said such acts should not be taken lightly as they have the potential to undermine ukhuwah and weaken unity among Muslims. Sultan Sharafuddin also urged mosque and surau imams not only to deepen their religious knowledge but also to equip themselves to manage and administer mosques effectively. "Safeguard the good name of mosques and surau, and avoid any actions that could undermine the dignity and trust of the community. Meanwhile, the Sultan of Selangor expressed pride in the achievement of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque, which welcomed more than 100,000 visitors last year.
