September 27, 2025
Muslim Rashtriya Manch's All India Muslim Maha Sammelan marked historic moment in the national capital today
------------
On a platform which was meant to be declaration of intent, 'that Indian Muslims will be active partners in building new India', the Muslim Rashtriya Manch's All India Muslim Maha Sammelan marked a historic moment in New Delhi, bringing together thousands of participants from across the nation.
Muslim Rashtriya Manch's All India Muslim Maha Sammelan marks historic moment in New Delhi.The event, held at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium, aimed to promote social harmony, equality, and shared progress. Thousands of participants, workers, intellectuals, academicians, community leaders, and social activists, from across the nation, filled the stadium, creating an atmosphere charged with chants of unity, patriotism, and reform.
This was more than a meeting or any normal conference. The Sammelan sent a resounding message: Indian Muslims will be active partners in building a new India rooted in social harmony, equality, and shared progress. The gathering was graced by MRM Chief Patron Indresh Kumar, JPC on Waqf Chairman and MP Jagdambika Pal, former Union Minister Satyanarayan Jatiya, Ajmer Sharif Dargah Chairman Khwaja Nasruddin, All India Imam Organization Chief Imam Maulana Umer Ilyasi, NCMEI Acting Chairman Dr. Shahid Akhtar, BJP Minority Morcha President Jamal Siddiqui, Nizamuddin Dargah Chairman Salmi Nizami, MRM National Convener Mohammad Afzal, Dr. Shalini Ali, Shahid Sayeed, Qari Abrar Jamal, and several other prominent figures.
Chairpersons of various Waqf Boards, members of Haj Committees, national and state conveners of MRM, and representatives of its different wings also attended.In his keynote address, MRM Chief Patron Indresh Kumar emphasised unity against terrorism as "pure satanism" beyond caste, religion, or colour and drug addiction, declaring, "We were, we are, and we will always remain Hindustani," which drew thunderous applause, reinforcing pride in a shared Indian identity.
He recalled MRM's role in the abolition of Triple Talaq. Kumar cautioned about the growing issue of illegal infiltrators, particularly in states like Bihar, stressing the impact on Indian Muslims' livelihoods. "If infiltrators get the jobs, how will Indian Muslims secure their livelihood?" he asked, drawing serious reflection from the audience.
Dr. Shahid Akhtar (NCMEI) announced upcoming initiatives, including reconciliation centers, skill development programs, scholarships, and career guidance cells, to empower Indian Muslims in nation-building. Mohammad Afzal, National Convener, recalled MRM's humble beginnings with just 110 participants, declaring that the movement is now poised to unite lakhs of workers as a force for social harmony and transformation. Jagdambika Pal lauded the government's digitisation of Waqf land, while Khwaja Nasruddin affirmed India's equal rights for all.
Maulana Umer Ilyasi reminded the audience that "the DNA of Hindus and Muslims is one." Satyanarayan Jatiya praised MRM's consistent contribution to national unity.Dr Shalini Ali, head of MRM's Women's Wing, stated that Muslim women will no longer remain passive beneficiaries of change, emphasising the need for education, skills, and financial independence.

--------------
KHULNA, Sept 28, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general and former parliament member Mia Golam Parwar has said that Islam ensures dignity for people of all faiths and communities.
He stressed that if Islam had been established in state governance, people of all religions, castes, and professions would have enjoyed equal security, honor, and rights.
He made the remarks on Saturday evening while visiting various Puja mandaps and exchanging views with Hindu devotees at Raghunathpur and Rangpur unions of Dumuriaupazila in Khulna.
"Since independence, in the past 54 years, the absence of Islam in the state has denied equal rights and security to all. Instead, people have suffered from oppression and injustice," Parwar remarked.
"Now, after the July Mass Uprising, the time has come to rebuild Bangladesh with justice, where there will be no discrimination, oppression, terrorism, extortion, or Hindu-Muslim division," he added.
"I have already met with law enforcement officials and instructed our activists to ensure that no evil force can create obstacles during your religious celebrations. Jamaat has always stood by you, and we will continue to do so in the future," he said.
"This country belongs to all of us. It is our responsibility to maintain a safe and peaceful environment. Jamaat believes that with the cooperation of all religious groups, especially the Hindu community, a self-reliant and prosperous Bangladesh can be built," he emphasized.
Jamaat leaders Munshi Mizanur Rahman, Munshi Moinul Islam, Prof. Mia Golam Kuddus, and Dumuria Chhatra Shibir president Mostafa Al Mujahid, along with local Hindu community leaders including Dr Haridas Mondal, Prof Deb Prasad Mondal, Animesh Biswas, and Komolesh Biswas, among others, were present.

US has only problems with weapons of Muslim nations
Sep 27, 2025
TEHRAN, Sep. 27 (MNA) – Yemen's resistance movement Ansarullah Leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi commemorated the first anniversary of Hezbollah leaders martyrdom, warning against the plots drawn by US and Israel to disarm Islamic resistance movements.
Yemen's resistance movement Ansarullah Leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi delivered a speech on one-year anniversary of Hezbollah's former Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah's martyrdom.
The US has been pushing for New Middle East project since the early 2000s to allow Israeli domination, Al-Houthi noted, adding that "Its now clear that Israeli aggression targets the entire Muslim Ummah without exception."
"The recent developments prove resistance was the right choice, as the only alternative the enemies put forward has been surrender," the Yemeni leader said elsewhere.
"Resistance weapons are a problem for Israel, not Arab regimes who follow US-Israeli dictates," he continued in an apparent reference to attempts to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon by the US and the Israeli regime.

‘Unjustifiable, legally baseless’: Iran denounces return of UN ‘snapback’ sanctions
September 28, 2025

--------------
Iran on Sunday (September 28, 2025) condemned as "unjustifiable" the reinstatement of United Nations sanctions over its nuclear programme, after the collapse of talks with Western powers and Israeli and U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites.
The measures, which bar dealings linked to the Islamic republic's nuclear and ballistic missile activities, took effect overnight after Western powers triggered the so-called "snapback" mechanism under the 2015 nuclear accord.
"The reactivation of annulled resolutions is legally baseless and unjustifiable... all countries must refrain from recognising this illegal situation," the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran will firmly defend its national rights and interests, and any action aimed at undermining the rights and interests of its people will face a firm and appropriate response," it added.
The return of the sanctions ends months of tense diplomacy aimed at reviving nuclear talks derailed since June, when Israeli and U.S. forces bombed Iranian nuclear facilities.
He also called on UN member states to "immediately" implement sanctions to "pressure Iran's leaders to do what is right for their nation, and best for the safety of the world".
The British, French and German foreign ministers said in a joint statement they would continue to seek "a new diplomatic solution to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon".
Iran had allowed UN inspectors to return to its nuclear sites, but President Masoud Pezeshkian said the United States had offered only a short reprieve in return for handing over its whole stockpile of enriched uranium, a proposal he described as unacceptable.
An 11th-hour effort by Iran allies Russia and China to postpone the sanctions until April failed to win enough votes in the Security Council on Friday (September 26), leading to the measures taking effect at 3.30 a.m. in Tehran (0000 GMT) on Sunday.
Germany, which triggered the return of sanctions alongside Britain and France, had "no choice" as Iran was not complying with its obligations, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said.
The sanctions "finally exposed the West's policy of sabotaging the pursuit of constructive solutions in the UN Security Council, as well as its desire to extract unilateral concessions from Tehran through blackmail and pressure," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
The sanctions are a "snapback" of measures frozen in 2015 when Iran agreed to major restrictions on its nuclear programme under a deal negotiated by former president Barack Obama.
The United States already imposed massive sanctions, including trying to force all countries to shun Iranian oil, when President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal in his first term.
Iran and the United States had held several rounds of Omani-brokered talks earlier this year before they collapsed in June when first Israel and then the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities.
"The current (economic) situation was already very difficult, but it's going to get worse," said an Iranian engineer who asked to be identified only by his first name Dariush.
"The impact of the renewed sanctions is already evident: the exchange rate is increasing, and this is leading to higher prices," the 50-year-old said, complaining that the standard of living is "much lower" than it was two or three years ago.
The dollar was trading at around 1.12 million rials on the black market on Saturday (September 27), a record high according to several currency tracking websites.

ASTANA – Five underground mosques in the Mangystau peninsula are to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Mangystau Region governor’s press service announced on Sept. 22.
The five mosques – Beket-ata, Karaman-ata, Shakpak-ata, Shopan-ata, and Sultan-epe – were included in the UNESCO preliminary list in 2021. Since then, the Ministry of Culture and Information has overseen the preparation of scientific and project documentation submitted to UNESCO headquarters in Paris. In addition, protected areas were identified, information stands were installed, and photo and video materials were prepared.
Representatives of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) technical evaluation mission met with governor NurdauletKilybay to review the nomination.
“Mangystau is a region with a rich history. It is home to underground mosques, ancient necropolises, and mausoleums, which are outstanding architectural monuments. As part of the Madeni Mura [Cultural Heritage] program, comprehensive work has been carried out to protect these monuments. As a result, five underground mosques have been included in the UNESCO preliminary list,” Kilybay said.
“The inclusion of these sites in the World Heritage List will not only preserve the historical values of our people but will also give impetus to the cultural and economic development of the country,” he added.

Stay Alert: VHP To Centre and State Govts Over AIMPLB's Stir Against Waqf Law
Sep 28, 2025
NEW DELHI: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) urged on Saturday Centre and state govts to stay alert against possible violence during nationwide protests announced by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and other Muslim bodies against Waqf Amendment Act.
VHP said it was "strange" that while challenging the law in court, the organisations were simultaneously launching street agitations instead of waiting for Supreme Court's verdict.
VHP president Alok Kumar cited recent incidents of violence during Milad-un-Nabi processions to caution that fresh mobilisations could "disrupt law and order, invite conflicts and promote violence." He called upon society, particularly Hindus, to remain "vigilant and prepared" in coordination with local authorities.

Odisha Man, Who Started The Village’s Very Own Durga Puja In 1986 Binds Hindus, Muslims In Durga Puja
SukantaSahu
28 Sep 2025
BARIPADA: Durga Puja in Tentuldinga village holds a special place in the cultural map of Baripada. The puja which was started 39 years back by a Muslim - Kohinoor Islam - is today a reassuring display of communal harmony between the Hindu and Muslim communities of the area.
Kohinoor, 76 years old now, decided to start the village’s very own Durga Puja in 1986 after seeing many women of the area walking to Baripada town to witness the puja and take part in rituals like ‘Sindoor Khela’, ‘Sandhi Puja’, etc. “I asked our villagers about the idea of holding our own Sarbajanina Durga Puja. Because, women of the village and nearby areas used to walk to Baripada town early in the morning and return late in the night,” said Kohinoor, a resident of Tentuldinga.
Villagers were happy with the idea and 24 of them came forward to support it. A Durga Puja committee was formed with Kohinoor as its head and they, along with other villagers donated for the purpose. The puja which started with 25 members including Kohinoor, has 550 members of both the communities now.

Cleric Tauqeer Raza Khan, Chief Of The Ittehad-e-Millat Council,Detained After 'I Love Muhammad' Protest Turns Violent
Sep 27, 2025
NEW DELHI: Police on Saturday detained Tauqeer Raza Khan, chief of the Ittehad-e-Millat Council, after his call for a protest in support of the 'I love Muhammad' campaign triggered a violent clash between demonstrators and police following Friday prayers in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly, officials said.
"Tauqeer Raza has been taken into custody, and further legal proceedings are underway. The situation is peaceful and under control," Bareilly SSP Anurag Arya told the media.
The detention came a day after tensions flared in Bareilly, where a crowd carrying 'I Love Muhammad' posters clashed with police outside a mosque in the Kotwali area following Friday prayers.
The unrest was sparked by the last-minute cancellation of a demonstration called by Raza, who alleged that authorities denied him permission. The clash involved stone-pelting and vandalism, leading to the detention of over two dozen people.
Later, Raza released a video challenging the police’s version of events, claiming he was placed under house arrest and prevented from addressing his followers. In the clip, he praised the injured demonstrators, calling them “worthy of congratulations.”
He also voiced regret over being unable to submit a memorandum to President Droupadi Murmu through District Magistrate Avinash Singh, highlighting what he described as “continuous attacks on Muslims” and urging legal action.

Bangladesh minorities' body expresses concern over safety ahead of puja
Sep 28, 2025
DHAKA Amid a number of incidents of attacks, the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council has said there is growing concern and anxiety among devotees regarding the Sharidya Durga Puja celebrations that begin on Sunday.
The organisation said that though devotees are being assured by the highest levels of the govt, including the chief adviser, army chief and home affairs adviser, about the smooth conduct of the Sharidya Durga Puja festivities, the overall situation on the eve of the festival has only fed their apprehensions and anxiety.
A statement of the central committee, signed by Manindra Kumar Nath, acting general secretary of the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, on Friday highlighted attacks on at least nine puja mandap and temples and vandalism of idols from Sept 2 to Sept 23.
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, who is now in New York, on Saturday conveyed his greetings to the Hindu community of Bangladesh. Emphasising Bangladesh's tradition of communal harmony, he said, "This country belongs to all of us. It is a safe abode for all people." He noted that the destruction of evil forces and the triumph of truth and beauty is the spiritual essence of the festival.

U.S. Court Frees Former Afghan Interpreter After Unlawful Immigration Detention

Naser had been held for 106 days by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before his release on Saturday, September 27, according to AfghanEvac, an advocacy group assisting Afghan allies of the United States.
Judge Coryell found that U.S. authorities wrongfully initiated “expedited removal” proceedings against Naser while his primary case was still pending and had revoked his temporary humanitarian parole without due notice.
Shawn VanDiver, chairman of AfghanEvac, welcomed the ruling, saying it proved that Naser’s arrest and detention were illegal. He urged Washington to honor its commitments to Afghan partners, stressing that the decision “offers hope not only to Naser but to all Afghans who served alongside U.S. forces and still seek safety.”Afghanistan Tours

Trump’s ‘Sharia’ Accusation Fuels A Widening Global Culture War
September 28, 2025
By Altaf Moti
In a high-profile address to the United Nations in late September 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump accused London of “going to Sharia law” and described Mayor Sadiq Khan as “a terrible, terrible mayor.”
Trump also intensified his criticism of New York mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani, portraying him as a radical who would undermine law and order. Both charges suggested that Muslim or progressive leaders were sympathetic to imposing Islamic Sharia law in Western cities. The remarks ignited strong reactions in both the United Kingdom and the United States. They also revived long-standing debates about the use of religion as a political weapon.
Trump’s UN speech on 24–25 September 2025 drew global attention. Among foreign policy themes, he inserted a pointed remark: London was “heading toward Sharia law.” His attack on Sadiq Khan followed years of personal hostility, dating back to disputes over Trump’s travel bans and Khan’s criticism of his rhetoric. In U.S. domestic politics, Trump has targeted Zohran Mamdani throughout the 2025 mayoral race, linking him to radical politics and hinting that he posed risks to the cultural character of New York.
The claim that a mayor can impose Sharia law on a Western city collapses under scrutiny. In the United Kingdom, the legal system is rooted in parliamentary sovereignty and secular law. Sharia councils exist informally to mediate family disputes within Muslim communities, but they carry no binding legal force. Civil courts retain full authority. In the United States, constitutional separation of church and state prevents any religious legal code from being adopted as municipal or state law. A New York mayor has no legal capacity to introduce religious law into statutory frameworks. Fact-checkers have consistently found no evidence that Khan or Mamdani has proposed such measures.

US Army’s Top Muslim Chaplain Stresses Spiritual Resilience For Soldier Readiness
27/09/2025
By Wan Muhammad Aslah Wan Razali
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) Chaplain, Colonel Khallid Shabazz, has highlighted the importance of spiritual resilience in strengthening soldier readiness, describing it as just as crucial as physical fitness for military service. Shabazz, the senior-most Muslim chaplain in the US Army, said that a soldier may be well-trained and physically capable, but without
"A soldier can be physically fit and have all the external attributes they need, but every one of us has a spiritual soul. "Chaplains allow soldiers to tap into that," he said during an interview with Bernama TV's programme The Nation Diplomatic Dispatch, in conjunction with the 14th Indo-Pacific Armies Chiefs Conference (IPACC) from Sept 23 to 26, held in Kuala Lumpur Shabazz stressed that spiritual resilience is crucial, explaining that when soldiers are spiritually strong, their readiness is enhanced - and readiness is everything, especially in times of conflict. The colonel, who began his career as an enlisted soldier, shared that his own struggles with trauma, academic setbacks and suicidal ideation had inspired him to enter the chaplaincy. He explained that although he had joined the Army in search of a better life, he continued to face difficulties and felt that he was falling short.

Shutdown showdown: Donald Trump to meet top congressional leaders; deadline looms
Sep 28, 2025
US President Donald Trump is planning to meet with the top four congressional leaders at the White House on Monday, one day before the federal government faces a potential shutdown, a White House official and congressional sources confirmed.
According to news agency AP, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., along with house Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will be attending the meeting.
The development comes after Trump abruptly cancelled a planned meeting with Democratic leaders on Thursday at the urging of Johnson and Thune, calling Democratic demands “unserious and ridiculous”.
The president has faced mounting pressure as the September 30 funding deadline approaches, with Congress needing to pass a spending bill to prevent a shutdown at 12:01 am (local time) on Wednesday.
“President Trump has once again agreed to a meeting in the Oval Office,” Schumer and Jeffries said in a joint statement Saturday evening.

UN imposes 'snapback' sanctions on hungrier, poorer, more anxious Iran
Sep 28 2025
The United Nations reimposed sanctions on Iran early Sunday over its nuclear programme, further squeezing the Islamic Republic as its people increasingly find themselves priced out of the food they need to survive and worried about their futures.
The sanctions will again freeze Iranian assets abroad, halt arms deals with Tehran, and penalise any development of Iran's ballistic missile programme, among other measures. It came via a mechanism known as "snapback", included in Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
Iran had claimed the UN had no power to reimpose the sanctions while also insisting they'd have no effect on the country. However, they come after Israel launched a punishing 12-day war on the country in June that also saw the United States bomb the country's nuclear sites.

Trump's hostage deal proposal includes amnesty for terrorists, Palestinian state talks - report
SEPTEMBER 28, 2025
The full contents of a US-backed plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip have been revealed in a Washington Post report on Sunday, offering the most detailed look to date at the Trump administration’s proposal for a ceasefire, postwar governance, and long-term reconstruction.
As previously reported by The Jerusalem Post, the document outlines an immediate halt to fighting, the release of the remaining 20 living hostages and the bodies of 28 others held by Hamas within the first 48 hours of the deal, and the destruction of the group’s offensive weapons. It also includes political incentives, such as amnesty and safe passage abroad for Hamas members who agree to disarm, as well as a potential pathway toward Palestinian statehood once reforms are in place.

Malaysia’s Mahathir at 100: Israel’s genocide in Gaza will not be forgotten
By Amy Chew
28 Sep 2025
Putrajaya, Malaysia – When Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad turned 100 earlier this year, he marked his birthday by following a lifelong routine of discipline: he ate little, worked a lot, and did not succumb to the lure of rest.
From a desk at his office in Putrajaya city, south of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, he spent his centenary like most days: penning his thoughts on the Malaysian economy, the country’s political situation and unfolding world events, particularly the situation in Gaza.
Sitting down with Al Jazeera for an interview after recovering from a spell of exhaustion around the time of his birthday, Mahathir predicted that Israel’s ruthlessness against the Palestinian population of Gaza would be etched into world history.

Israel targets Hamas infrastructure amid Gaza City offensive
By Mike Heuer
Sept. 27, 2025
Sept. 27 (UPI) -- The Israeli Air Force targeted more than 120 sites in the Gaza Strip to destroy Hamas infrastructure, while the Israel Defense Forces continued its ground offensive in Gaza City.
The IAF on Friday and Saturday struck buildings and other infrastructure that Hamas uses to continue the war against Israel that Hamas started by attacking Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The aerial strikes occurred as the IDF's 98th Division killed several Hamas militants and located rockets and rocket-propelled grenades in Gaza City, according to The Times of Israel.
The IDF force used drones to attack a Hamas surveillance post in Gaza City that the Hamas-allied Palestinian Islamic Jihad also used to stage its operations in Gaza City, while the IDF's 36th and 162nd divisions also destroyed Hamas tunnels and killed several Hamas and Islamic Jihad members over the past day, the Times reported.
The news outlet did not cite a source or say how many of the reported deaths are Hamas and Islamic Jihad members and how many might be civilians.
The Israeli military's offensive in Gaza City caused the non-profit charity Doctors Without Borders to close in the northern Gaza municipality.

Sweeping UN sanctions on Iran come into effect after nuclear talks fail
28 Sep 2025
Widespread UN sanctions against Iran have come back into force for the first time in a decade, after last-ditch nuclear talks with western powers failed to produce a breakthrough.
The sanctions, which came into effect late on Saturday and three months after Israel and the US bombed Iran, bar dealings related to Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missiles program and are also expected to have wider effects on its troubled economy.
He also called on UN member states to “immediately” implement sanctions to “pressure Iran’s leaders to do what is right for their nation and best for the safety of the world”.
The British, French and German foreign ministers said in a joint statement they would continue to seek “a new diplomatic solution to ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon”.

Trump upbeat about ending Gaza war as 21-point peace plan takes shape
By Jennifer Hansler
28-09-2025
The Trump administration has proposed a 21-point Gaza peace plan that calls for all hostages held by Hamas to be released within 48 hours of an agreement and sets out a roadmap for Gaza once the war ends, according to a source familiar with the proposal.
US President Donald Trump has voiced optimism about resolving the conflict, saying Friday they’re “very close” to a deal, just days after his envoy said a “breakthrough” was possible.
The plan could be problematic for Netanyahu, given it recognizes aspirations for a Palestinian state - something firmly opposed by key members of his government.
The release of the hostages – about 20 of whom are thought to be still alive – would be in exchange for a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, according to the source.
The plan would deny Hamas any future role in the governance of Gaza, the source said. Instead, it calls for two levels of interim governance in the territory – an overarching international body and a Palestinian committee.

Anwar dismisses claims Madani government is against Islam as baseless
2025-09-27
MELAKA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has firmly rejected baseless allegations that the Madani Government is against Islam.
Speaking at the 27th Reformasi anniversary of PartiKeadilan Rakyat (PKR), Anwar criticised the attitude of several opposition leaders.
“Where are we against Islam? We have increased allocations for Islamic development, supported tahfiz schools, and provided opportunities for huffaz students to further their studies at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutes,” he said.
Anwar stated that the PN administration had failed to strengthen the Islamic agenda while increasing the number of special gambling draws.

Sabah, Sarawak deserve 66.67pc of parliamentary seats as equal partners under MA63, says assemblyman
28 Sep 2025
SIBU, Sept 28 — Sarawak and Sabah, as equal partners in the formation of Malaysia, should be allocated 66.67 per cent of the parliamentary seats instead of 35 per cent to ensure fair representation, said Bawang Assan assemblyman Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh.
He recalled in 2021, the Federal Constitution was amended as a direct result of Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), restoring Sabah and Sarawak’s status as equal partners.
“And being equal partners must mean having an equal voice, equal representation, equal partners cannot have unequal seats, unequal representation,” Wong said in a press statement today.
He was reacting to the podcast on Sept 26 hosted by former federal minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, where Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun had dismissed the claim that Sabah and Sarawak are entitled to 35 per cent of parliamentary seats, calling it “merely a political narrative.”

Foreign minister: Malaysia urges UN sanctions on Israel, UN must reform to stay relevant
28 Sep 2025
NEW YORK, Sept 28 — Malaysia has strongly urged the United Nations (UN) to impose sanctions on Israel, stressing that the metastasis of Zionist regime brutality in the Middle East must not be allowed to continue.
Delivering the country’s National Statement at the General Debate of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (Unga) 2025 here on Saturday, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said Israel’s latest assault on Doha, Qatar, was not merely an attack on a few Hamas representatives but a violation of another state’s sovereignty and an insult to all mediation efforts.
He said the strike signalled that Israel’s violence would continue to destabilise the region, emphasising that the effects of such actions would inevitably spill over to the rest of the world.
“The atrocities may have begun with Palestine, but they certainly will not end with Palestine. As the Middle East grows ever more dangerous for its residents, we will feel the reverberations all over the world.

Federal police expose network of international investment fraudsters who targeted Muslims
27 September 2025
In mid-September, the Brussels federal judicial police carried out a major operation to dismantle a network of international investment fraudsters. A sophisticated pyramid scheme is believed to have deceived hundreds of investors, including Belgian residents. The gang mainly targeted Muslims.
The network first lured victims with expensive financial training courses that promised to teach them how to invest in the currency market. These courses served as a springboard to larger-scale fraud. Those who enrolled were presented with a “unique investment opportunity” with a supposedly guaranteed and exceptional return. The fraudsters promised profits of up to 350 per cent in barely sixty weeks.
In reality, no actual investments were made. It was a classic Ponzi scheme, in which money from new participants was used to pay out earlier investors. This created the illusion of success. The organisers also tried to capitalise on cultural differences by distributing so-called halal certificates for investments.
“This way, they wanted to convince Muslim investors that the investments were in line with Islamic law. According to the investigation, 99 per cent of the identified victims belong to this community,” stated the federal police.

Leader of Spain’s Vox party calls for another Reconquista to stop ‘Islamist invasion’
September 27, 2025
The leader of Spain’s fastest growing political party has called for a latter-day version of the country’s centuries-long efforts during the Middle Ages to recapture the country from Muslim forces.
He made the startling comparison during a recent rally staged for Patriots for Europe, the European parliament’s third-largest voting bloc. Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox and president of Patriots for Europe, said the European continent needed a new Reconquista to fight an “Islamist invasion”, “climatic terrorism” and “woke ideology”, reports The Times.
It notes that thousands of voters for Abascal's populist right-wing party roared approvingly and waved Spanish flags in response. The enthusiastic reception for Abascal reflects a national trend that sees Vox making significant political headway as it sweeps up support with its anti-migrant rhetoric.

Ministry partners dRPC in addressing gender-based violence
September 28, 2025
by Franca Ochigbo
The Ministry of Women’s Affairs and the development Research and Projects Centre (dRPC) are partnering to educate families on the negative effect of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Muslim homes and the society in general.
According to the Imam of the Abuja National Mosque, Prof. Iliyasu Usman, while some interpretations of specific hadiths or Quranic verses have been misused to justify disciplinary measures within marriage, Islam’s broader ethical and moral framework upholds kindness, mercy, and a clear prohibition of oppression and violence towards women and girls.
Prof. Usman stated this during the Stakeholder Dialogue on the Islamic Perspective for GBV Prevention and the launch of GBV Prevention Guides for Muslim Opinion Leaders (MOLs) organised by the dRPC in collaboration with the Centre of Islamic Civilisation and Interfaith Dialogue (CICID) Abuja.

Kwara traditionalist dares Islamic clerics over vacation order
By Dare Akogun
27th September 2025
Aare OlomitutuOdoGbogbol’Agbo of Kwara State and Atayese Worldwide, YeyeOsunfunmilayoAjile, has vowed not to abandon her traditional roots, declaring that “traditional religion is the first religion in Ilorin.”
She made this declaration after a confrontation with some Muslim clerics who stormed her residence and ordered her to vacate the area over her practice.
Fresh tension erupted in Ilorin on Monday, September 22, when a group of clerics from OkeOdo, Danialu, and GaaAkanbi allegedly besieged her home.
A video of the incident, now circulating online, shows the clerics insisting that she relocate, while Ajile stood her ground, asserting her constitutional right to freedom of worship.
“They said they didn’t want me to practice traditional religion in that area and ordered me to relocate to Osun State. I told them I am from Ilorin and a bona fide daughter of the soil. I was born here, raised here, and I built this house here. Nobody can chase me away,” she told Saturday PUNCH.
Ajile alleged that the group, led by one AlhajiYisa and another identified as BureimoEesu, attempted to assault her but left after throwing stones and insults.

Getting real about Islamic State in Mozambique
Zitamar News
September 28, 2025
Good morning – with apologies for the late arrival of Friday's Daily Briefing. On Mozambique’s Armed Forces Day it is customary to generously praise the men and women who defend the country in uniform, even though we're aware of major operational shortcomings, particularly in Cabo Delgado where a guerrilla group claiming to defend Islamic values has inflicted enormous suffering on the population, and the military deployed there, since October 2017.
However, speaking at his first Armed Forces Day as president on Thursday, Daniel Chapo acknowledged the armed forces’ effort, but said it is insufficient and that more investment is needed.

Gana: APC Muslim-Muslim ticket aids opposition in 2027
27th September 2025
A chieftain of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Prof. Jerry Gana, has disagreed with the belief among some Nigerians that the Presidential Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has come to stay, and it will be repeated in the 2027 election, saying, “I wish they will make that mistake, and it will be a sweet victory for the opposition”.
Prof. Gana was the Director of Mass Mobilisation for Self Reliance, Social Justice, and Economic Recovery (MAMSER), a political orientation in the country during the regime of the military President, Ibrahim BadamasiBabangida.
He spoke to journalists at the weekend shortly after he delivered a welcome address as chairman of the occasion organised by Christian Elders Forum of Northern States (NOSCEF).
Reacting to the fact that the Muslim-Muslim ticket appeared to have come to stay in the country, he fired back at newsmen, asking them in return, “Has it come to stay? Has it come to stay?” walking and laughing sarcastically into his waiting vehicle.
However, Prof. Gana, who was also the Minister of Information under President Olusegun Obasanjo administration and one-time secretary of the PDP Board of Trustees, did not give details about how election victory will become sweet for the opposition in 2027 because of APC Muslim-Muslim ticket.
