AhlulBayt News Agency: Malaysia’s former minister of Religious Affairs urged that support for Palestine must move beyond slogans, calling on all parties to assist the Palestinian people through humanitarian, diplomatic, and media‑based efforts.
Speaking at the international conference on “Islamic Unity and Palestine” held in Kuala Lumpur on January 20, Mujahid Yusof Rawa said that the disunity of the Islamic nation is a major reason behind shortcomings in supporting the Palestinian cause. Referring to the Qur’anic concept of the ummah as a unified community, he warned that current divisions among Muslims weaken their collective capacity, contradicting Islamic teachings.
He described Palestine not only as a symbol of resistance but also as a mirror reflecting the moral and political condition of the Islamic ummah.
He stressed that the inability to defend Palestine represents a form of strategic paralysis rooted in the disunity of the Muslim world.
The former minister emphasized that emotional sympathy must be transformed into organized and strategic action.
According to Mujahid Yusof Rawa, support for Palestine must extend beyond slogans and be directed toward humanitarian aid, diplomacy, public mobilization, and media advocacy.
He highlighted Malaysia’s firm and principled stance in supporting Palestine, calling it an example of value‑based moral leadership.
The former Malaysian official made his remarks at the regional pro‑Palestine Islamic unity conference co‑organized by Iran’s World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought and the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organization (MAPIM).
More than 150 Muslim scholars, religious leaders, and intellectuals from around the world participated in the conference.
