SHAH ALAM, Dec 22 — The strict monitoring of teachers credentialed to teach Islam in Selangor is aimed at safeguarding the harmony and purity of the religion, not to inconvenience any parties.
Selangor Islamic Religious Council chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said if the teaching is not carefully monitored, it can create rifts in the Muslim community.
"The teaching guidelines and regulations have been issued earlier… they are similar in all states.
“Teachers have to understand the conditions of the accreditation given to them and have to comply with them.
"If we are not firm, it can be chaotic. We want to unite and not divide (the Muslim community)," he said when met at the 4th convocation ceremony of the Lifelong Learning Programme organised by the Islamic Education Division of the Selangor Islamic Religious Department and Universiti Islam Selangor here today.
He said this when asked whether the control of Islamic teaching is strict in Selangor.
