MAIS Pledges To Uphold Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah Principles In Selangor's Islamic Administration
SHAH ALAM, July 7 (Bernama) -- The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) remains steadfast in ensuring that Islamic administration in the state adheres to the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, and is free from the influence of deviant teachings. Its chairman, Datuk Salehuddin Saidin, said MAIS, in collaboration with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS), the Selangor Mufti Department and other agencies, would intensify efforts to raise awareness and deepen understanding of the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed among the people in the state. 'This includes Islamic teaching programmes conducted by certified religious instructors as well as mosque and surau-based religious activities,' he said in a statement today. Salehuddin said reinforcing the position of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah is in line with the decree of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, as the state's Head of Religion, who has emphasised the importance of safeguarding the purity of faith and the need to define the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah's position within the legal framework. 'It is hoped that a deep understanding and appreciation of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed will form the core foundation for strengthening unity among Muslims,' he said. At the same time, Salehuddin expressed his appreciation to the State Islamic Religious Affairs and Cultural Innovation Committee chairman Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah, and all parties involved in preparing the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) (Amendment) Enactment Bill 2025, which was passed today by the Selangor State Legislative Assembly. The Bill seeks to clarify the criteria for appointing members of MAIS other than ex-officio members, members of the Fatwa Committee, the Credentials Committee and the Credentials Appeal Committee, who must adhere to the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed. The amendment could also prevent the appointment of individuals with extreme or liberal views, or those inclined towards teachings that deviate from the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, in the administration of Islamic affairs in Selangor. Earlier, the Selangor State Legislative Assembly unanimously passed the Bill after the third reading by Mohammad Fahmi, following a debate by six assemblymen at today's sitting.

Mais introduces PPI card to combat fraud in asset management
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) will introduce the Islamic Inheritance Planner (PPI) card for all registered agents as part of an initiative to prevent fraud in asset management. Its chairman Datuk Salehuddin Saidin said the PPI card is a unique document which offers several features, including an appointment reference number, validity date, and the agent's photo and name, helping to protect the public from scams when using their services. "The initiative is viewed as an early prevention measure to protect Muslims from falling victim to fraud, allowing the card to differentiate between legitimate agents and others. "At the same time, Mais wants the public to understand the role of PPI, which was created to help Muslims manage their inheritance in accordance with Islamic law, at an affordable cost,' he told reporters here on Wednesday (April 30). Salehuddin said Mais charges as little as RM300 for the will or hibah (conditional gift) process, aiming to ease the burden on the B40 group in planning such matters. He added that the initiative could also increase knowledge, awareness and confidence among Muslims about the importance of property matters, especially wills and hibah. He said that so far, Mais has appointed 63 accredited agents and plans to double this number in the future, to expand the reach of PPI services across Selangor. Earlier, Salehuddin attended the Media and Strategic Partner Appreciation Ceremony to honour media practitioners who have collaborated in covering Mais news throughout 2024. – Bernama
