IPOH, July 29 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has lambasted the Opposition for turning the Qunut Nazilah prayer into a political tool.
Anwar said prayers should be used appropriately for good purposes, and not to wish harm upon others.
“This prayer is not about politics, (and) the Mufti has provided guidance (on this). We are not against prayer… who says we are against prayer? We pray every day, after our prayers we make supplications, but not to curse others,” he said in his speech at the MADANI feast at Taman Koperasi Perpaduan 2 in Tambun here.
At a recent Dewan Rakyat session, opposition MPs recited the Qunut Nazilah after the august House suspended MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad of Machang for six months.
