Sandakan: The spirit of unity should be nurtured in the quest to achieve progress and harmony in the society in line with the theme of the national-level Prophet Muhammad's birthday celebration, "Moderation the Key to Unity of the People", said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.
He urged the people to practise 'wasatiyyah' or moderation in their actions and way of life.
"By embracing wasatiyyah, Muslims can succeed globally in technology, science and economy towards building an Islamic civilisation and mission," he said when launching the district-level Prophet Muhammad's birthday celebration, here, Saturday. Musa urged Muslims to emulate Prophet Muhammad's character in defending the religion, nationhood and country to reflect their admiration and love for him.
He said the annual Prophet Muhammad's birthday celebration should be turned into a platform to strengthen Muslim unity.
If Muslims ignore the importance of unity and understanding, they will be lagging behind others in the competitive world, he added.
