00:00Past Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man says the party will continue citing Quranic verses and hadiths in its churamas,
00:09including while on the campaign trail, despite a call for politicians to refrain from doing so.
00:14He said such verses were a guide for Muslims, and that he was puzzled by Religious Affairs Minister Naim Mokhtar's reprimand of politicians who use Quranic verses and hadiths for political gain.
00:25Tuan Ibrahim said he found Naim's reprimand odd as the Quran and hadiths contained advice on politics and the economy.
00:33He also said the Quran is the best guide when it comes to politics.
00:38Naim had advised politicians against citing the Quran and hadiths during churamas amid a row on whether Muslims should delay going on pilgrimage if the dates clash with elections.
00:48He was responding to past President Abdul Hadi Awang, who reportedly said Muslims should postpone their pilgrimages if they are supposed to cast their ballots in an election.
00:58According to Berita Haryan, he said victory at the polls must take priority so that Islam will remain in power.
