Muslims have been advised not to be influenced by the “Perjalanan Mimpi Yang Terakhir' (PMYT) group.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Idris Ahmad said this was not just a religious matter but was also a threat to the country's security.
He thanked the police for taking swift action and arresting the group's leader.
Idris (above) was speaking to reporters in Bukit Gantang, Perak after presenting aid to flood victims in three villages.
He added that his office, with cooperation from Islamic religious departments in all states, is monitoring the group.
He advised Muslims in the country intending to learn more about Islam to go to classes organised at mosques or surau as they are monitored by religious authorities.
Do not get involved in purportedly Islamic religious teachings that are held in secluded or hidden places, he said.
“Don’t believe and be influenced by strange teachings. Refer to the religious authorities for verification on teachings that you are not sure or are doubtful about,” he added.
Yesterday, police arrested a 39-year-old woman, believed to be the leader of the PMYT group, at her residence in Shah Alam, Selangor.
The woman went viral on social media recently claiming that the Third World War would start in Sabah and that she would lead her team to find Imam Mahdi to fight the enemy.
