Kuala lumpur: Malaysia has the potential to position itself as an international hub for Islamic knowledge by embracing a moderate, progressive, and inclusive approach, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar. In a post on X, he described the contribution of 235 volumes of the Hui Muslim Canon by the Chinese delegation as a significant step towards preserving and promoting Islamic scholarly heritage on the global stage.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the delegation was led by Ma Zhijun, vice-chairman of the China Cuisine Association. Mohd Na'im said the collection of Islamic scholarly works, authored by Hui Muslim scholars over more than a thousand years, not only enriches Malaysia's intellectual heritage but also acts as a bridge linking the Eastern Islamic world with the Malay world.

Mohd Na'im emphasized that this initiative reflects the spirit of Islam as a 'rahmah' (mercy) to all, celebrating cultural diversity, fostering brotherhood, and strengthening universal unity.
