Teachers to give Friday sermons in Perak mosques tomorrow

In conjunction with the Teachers' Day celebration tomorrow, teachers will be given the honour of reading the Friday sermons in mosques in Perak.

Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) president Annuar Zaini, in a statement today, said Perak ruler, Sultan Nazrin Shah, has given consent to 115 teachers to fulfil the role of “khatib” to deliver the Friday sermon tomorrow.

"This is in recognition of the important role of educators. The state education department director has given the names of 115 education service officers in Perak to be submitted to the Perak sultan for his consent," he said.

Annuar said that the State Islamic Religious Department has prepared a Friday sermon titled "Rabbani Teachers: Developing Human Dignity" for that purpose.

Last week, Sultan Nazrin consented to allow youth to be given the honour of reading the Friday sermons in mosques in the state in conjunction with the National Youth Day celebration.
