KUCHING: A series of programme has been lined up by the Islamic Information Centre (IIC) throughout 2016 aimed at disseminating information on the teachings of Islam.
According to IIC chief executive officer Zabariah Matali, the monthly programmes were mostly aimed at correcting the perception of non-Muslims towards the religion and to tell the truth about what Islam is all about. The centre would also conduct programmes which involved the youths.
She said this during her speech at the ‘Stories of Prophet Yusuf’ lecture programme held at Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) auditorium at Jalan P Ramlee yesterday.
Among the programmes lined up for 2016 are the ‘My Islam Series’, talks entitled ‘Lessons from Maryam:The Mother of Isa Al Masih’, ‘Fiqh of Medicine’ and the roundtable on ‘Pluralism, Secularism, Liberalism: What are all these jargon’.
Another interesting highlight is the Exhibition on Islam Around the Globe which would be held in October and the Soul2Soul Youth Forum in November.
The lecture yesterday which was attended by more than 100 media practitioners from around Kuching heard stories and moral lessons from Prophet Yusuf A.S, one of the prophets mentioned in the Holy Quran.
The lecture was delivered by Ustaz Muhammad Syaari Abdul Rahman, a graduate from International Islamic University Malaysia with Bachelor in Arabic Language, Literature, Linguistics and who is currently doing a degree in Ottoman History.
