Teachers to deliver Friday sermon in Perak mosques on May 16
IPOH: In conjunction with Teachers' Day on Friday (May 16), educators will be given the honour of reading the sermon in mosques in Perak.
Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) president Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini (pic) said in a statement that Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, has given consent to 115 teachers to fulfil the role of "khatib' to deliver the sermon.
"This is in recognition of the important role of educators. The state Education Department director has given the names of 115 education service officers in Perak to be submitted to the Sultan of Perak for His Royal Highness' consent," he said on Thursday (May 15).
Annuar said the State Islamic Religious Department has prepared a Friday sermon titled "Rabbani Teachers: Developing Human Dignity" for the purpose.
Last week, Sultan Nazrin consented to allow youth to be given the honour of reading the Friday sermons in mosques in the state in conjunction with the National Youth Day celebration today. – Bernama
