KUCHING: The Muslim community has been advised to learn and understand the integration of the Al-Quran.
Satok assemblyman Datuk Ibrahim Baki explained that understanding the concept of Al-Quran would help in shaping the Muslim community in Sarawak to become better ummahs.
“With that quality and cooperation with one another, the state will flourish and further develop.
“For Sarawak, the Premier had always led Sarawak based on the Medina Charter. Hence, cooperation with each other is important.
“Furthermore, with today’s theme, ‘Manhaj Rabbani Ummah Berkualiti’, the quality of our ummah quality will be guided to the right path,” Ibrahim added.
