PUTRAJAYA: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mujahid Yusof said the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) supported the initiative of the Johor Islamic Religious Department (JAINJ) to use Jawi script in all its correspondence.
The implementation of the initiative will commence on Jan 1 next year, involving JAINJ and the Johor State Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ).
Jawi will also be used in the kadi’s office and religious schools.
Mujahid said in Jakim, for every programme, about 25% of the posters or materials related to the programme were written in Jawi script.
“Tomorrow, we will be launching a ‘Jawi Week’ and every Friday, we will ask all staff to use name tags written in Jawi,” he told the media after opening the first international forum on “Islamic thought: Revitalising Maqasid Shariah towards a compassionate governance” here today.
On the forum today, Mujahid said the programme would be an annual event to discuss the principles of Maqasid Shariah, especially in the Malaysian framework.
“We will use this platform to touch on current Islamic issues as well as views from abroad,” he said. - FMT
