President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has called on all parties to actively participate in transforming Maldivian society into one guided by the principles of the Qur’an and Sunnah. He made this statement during his address at the official ceremony marking the Day the Maldives Embraced Islam, held this morning at Dharubaaruge.

Reflecting on the day’s significance, President Dr Muizzu emphasised the importance of learning from the noble moral virtues brought to the world by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He also reminded the people that the Sunnah instructs them not to spread falsehoods or insults and to speak only good and truthful words.
