What we stand for

G25 is committed to pursue a just, democratic, peaceful, tolerant, harmonious, moderate and progressive multi-racial, multi cultural, multi religious Malaysia through Islamic principles of Wassatiyah (moderation) and Maqasid Syariah (well-being of the people) that affirms justice, compassion, mercy, equity.

Malaysia is to be led by rule of law, good governance, respect for human rights and upholding the institution of the country.

We aim to ensure, raise awareness, promote that Syariah laws and civil laws should work in harmony and that the Syariah laws are used within its legal jurisdiction and limits as provided for by the federal and state division of powers.

There should be rational dialogues to inform people on how Islam is used for public law and policy that effects the multi ethnic and multi religious Malaysia and within the confines of the Federal Constitution, the supreme law of the nation.

We work in a consultative committee of experts to advise the government and facilitate amendments to the state Syariah laws, to align to the Federal Constitution and the spirit of Rukun Negara.

It is imperative to achieve a politically stable, economically progressive Malaysia and to be able to enjoy the harmony, tolerance, understanding and cooperation in this multi diverse country.

G25 – Don't meet with Zakir Naik, send him packing back to India

The group of influential Malays (G25) is shocked that Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mujahid Yusof Rawa met with controversial Indian-born Muslim preacher Zakir Naik.

“For someone who is promoting moderate Islam, Mujahid should not have anything to do with extremist Muslims like Zakir,” said its spokesperson Noor Farida Ariffin.

“It was shocking to see Mujahid with Zakir. We should send him packing back to India,” she added.

India has requested the extradition of the preacher, whom it has accused of being involved in hate speech and money-laundering activities.

However, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Putrajaya would not bow to pressure whereas Zakir, who is now a Malaysian permanent resident, claimed that his reputation has been maligned by religious fanatics in India.

Urging the Pakatan Harapan government to act against those who employ hate speech or use race and religion to divide the nation, she said the current administration must stop being “more Umno than Umno” in using race and religion to garner Malay-Muslim support.

According to FMT, Noor Farida said Zakir has been insulting other faiths and distorting Islam for his own purpose.

She was referring to his call on Muslims to vote for Muslim candidates during the last general election.

“Obviously, he thought, like everyone else, that the BN government would win the election and remain in power,” she added.

On Wednesday, Muhajid met with Zakir for more than an hour and later described his preaching efforts as a source for inspiration in a Facebook posting.
