IPOH: In a bid to empower youth, the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah has granted 81 youths the honour to deliver the Friday sermon at mosques and surau across the state tomorrow in conjunction with National Youth Day, which falls on May 15. Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) president Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini said tomorrow's Friday sermon will carry the theme Belia Berkeyakinan: Memenuhi Wawasan Dunia Akhirat (Confident Youth: Fulfilling Worldly and Spiritual Aspirations). "The Perak Youth and Sports Department submitted a list of 81 names of young Muslims for the Perak Islamic Religious Council (JAIPk) to seek the royal consent for the purpose. "These 81 young individuals have been granted the honour of delivering the sermon at 81 mosques throughout Perak tomorrow. "...and next week, more will follow - particularly those from among teachers (in conjunction with Teachers' Day)," he told a press conference today. Mohd Annuar said mosque administrators must not obstruct the appointed youths from delivering the sermon, as they come with strong religious credentials and relevant academic backgrounds. "Some of them are graduates in Islamic studies, Huffaz (Quran memorisers), and qualified professionals in their fields. "They are fully capable of delivering sermons aligned with their expertise. "This is a significant recognition of their contributions," he said. In fact, Mohd Annuar said mosque administrators should welcome and support the initiative, as it reflects a growing number of young Muslims who are capable and willing to take on such a spiritual responsibility.

Perak MB: All mosque, surau waqf land must be registered under MAIPk to avoid future disputes
IPOH, May 5 — Land endowed for the benefit of Muslims, particularly for the construction of mosques, surau, and religious schools in the state, must be registered under the Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk). Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad said this is an important step to prevent future ownership disputes involving the heirs of the original donor or other interested parties. 'I urge all mosques that have yet to register their waqf land under MAIPk to do so immediately. Alhamdulillah, so far, many such applications have been approved during the executive council meetings I chair. 'However, there are still mosques, surau, and religious schools that have not completed this process, which could cause problems if claims are made later,' he told a press conference after launching a reading kit for mosques across the state here today. He was commenting on the ownership dispute involving Ar-Ridwan Jamek Mosque in Alor Pongsu, Kerian, which is currently owned by a non-Muslim individual. Earlier, in his speech, Saarani said the state government plans to use Friday prayer donation collections from across Perak to buy back the land, which is estimated to be worth RM1.8 million. 'The Ar-Ridwan Jamek Mosque was built on waqf land, but the donor's grandchild sold part of it to another party. The land was then registered under the buyer's name, and a claim has now been made on it,' he explained. In another development, Saarani expressed pride in Perak-born Aiman Ridhwan Mohamad Ramlan, who was named the champion male reciter at the 2025/1445H National Al-Quran Recitation and Memorisation Assembly held on May 3. He said the state government is considering a suitable incentive to honour Aiman Ridhwan's achievement in bringing pride to Perak. — Bernama
