KOTA BARU: An assembly comprising leaders of all faiths in Kelantan will be held to take a common stand against sinful acts.
Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said the assembly would be organised in the near future to get such leaders to attest that all religions abhorred behaviour including illicit sex, gambling, baby dumping, Mat Rempit, snatch theft and corruption.
"I will be launching the assembly soon with the intention to get a common say from all leaders from different faiths that such sinful acts are abhorred and that their followers should refrain from these acts.
"All these leaders will come up with a joint statement on their beliefs and an attestation that not only Islam prohibits such acts but other religions also have a common stand on such matters," he told reporters on Wednesday after launching the Al-Ziwayi Gateway scheme.
The scheme provides RM1,000 to poor couples who lack funds to get married.
Nik Abdul Aziz, who is also PAS spiritual adviser, added that the assembly is part of education for the people of Kelantan to fear Allah and not the enforcement officers, who have been given the task to prevent and carry out laws laid down by the Government of the day.
"We want to educate the Kelantanese based on Allah's laws and not by the secular system that is prevalent today.
"We want to have good deeds and prevent evil ones. By doing so, the people will automatically detest sinful acts and do good for the betterment of mankind," he said.
He also said that one example was the Al-Ziwayi Gateway to encourage male Muslims to seek women in a halal manner and not commit fornication or flirt with women before marrying them.
