Putrajaya & Madinah: Keeping Rasulullah’s Amanah with Yahya Rhodus – 11 September
Whether it is in governance or elsewhere, Muslims who lead anywhere carry the identity of Islam. An identity that has been transmitted to them, from those before them, leading all the way to the source – Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Just as the scholars inherited him in knowledge, Muslims in charge of responsible public roles are trustees of the principles and standards set by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).’
