Has Hadi inspired Terengganu’s religious authorities to ban sermons by politicians at state mosques?

SOMEHOW in conjunction with anniversary of the installation of Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin today, Terengganu’s Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIDAM) has banned politicians from delivering religious lectures or ceramahs in mosques and suraus state-wide.
In a statement yesterday (March 3), MAIDAM said Sultan Mizan was upset that some politicians had given religious lectures or classes or even led Friday prayers without the council’s approval.
“All state assemblymen, MPs, and senators are not allowed to deliver any religious ceramahs, lectures or teachings in mosques and suraus in Terengganu,” MAIDAM pointed out. “All state assemblymen, MPs, and senators are also not allowed to lead Friday prayers in mosques.”
With such ruling coming into effect, yesterday (March 3) could be the very last time PAS president Tan Sri Hadi Awang delivered a Friday sermon at the Rusila Mosque in his Marang parliamentary constituency – often to an almost ‘sell-out crowd’.
