سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ.

Subhana-alladhi sakh-khara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun.

Glory unto Him Who created this transportation, for us, though we were unable to create it on our own. And unto our Lord we shall return.

Doa After Rainfall

 

اللّهُمَّ حَوالَيْنا وَلا عَلَيْـنَا، اللّهُمَّ عَلى الآكَـامِ وَالظِّـرابِ، وَبُطُـونِِ الأوْدِيةِ، وَمَنـابِِتِ الشَّجَـرِ

Allaahumma hawaalaynaa wa laa ‘alaynaa. Allaahumma ‘alal-‘aakaami wadh-dhiraabi, wa butoonil-‘awdiyati, wa manaabitish-shajari

O Allah, let it pass us and not fall upon us, but upon the hills and mountains, and the center of the valleys, and upon the forested lands.
Al-Bukhari 1:224, Muslim 1:614

Praise be to Allah Who has fed us and given us drink and made us Muslims.
Abu Dawud

Important Dates

Immerse yourself in Malaysia’s cultural mosaic by acknowledging key Islamic dates. Join the festive celebrations, witness colorful processions, and bask in the joyous atmosphere that these significant dates infuse into the country.

Islam in Malaysia is represented by the Shafi’i version of Sunni theology and jurisprudence. Islam was introduced by traders arriving from Arabia, China and the Indian subcontinent. It became firmly established in the 15th century. The constitution grants freedom of religion and makes Malaysia an official secular state, while establishing Islam as the “religion of the Federation” to symbolise its importance to Malaysian society. The king is generally seen as the defender of the faith in the country.

Various Islamic holidays such as Muhammad’s birthday have been declared national holidays alongside Christmas, Chinese New Year and Deepavali.
