In a lengthy Facebook post that cited Islamic teachings in the form of hadith or Quran scriptures, Asyraf Wajdi said he was very sad to see the attitude of some who were taking light of the harm brought about by the spread of Covid-19, singling out some of the tabligh participants who he said were “still stubbornly not wanting to step forward to undergo health screening tests”.
He also acknowledged that the tabligh participants were not afraid of the dangers of the destructive disease as they believe that all harm comes only with Allah’s permission, but advised them by saying they must understand Allah’s commandments in the Muslims’ holy book Al-Quran to “not throw” themselves into destruction.
While acknowledging that they are ambassadors of Islam and that he did not doubt their sincerity in carrying outor in spreading the religion of Islam, he also urged them to look after Islam’s image based on true knowledge and not be the cause for allegations against Islam and Muslims.
