SHAH ALAM: The strict monitoring of teachers issued with credentials to teach Islam in Selangor is to ensure the harmony and purity of the religion is protected, says Selangor Islamic Religious Council chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.
He said it is not intended to inconvenience any party, adding that if the teaching of Islam is not carefully monitored, it could create a rift in the Muslim community.
“The guidelines and regulations (of teaching) have been given earlier on... they are similar in all states. Teachers have to understand the conditions of the accreditation given to them and have to comply with them.
“If we are not firm, it can be chaotic. We want to unite and not divide (the Muslim community),” he said when met at the fourth convocation ceremony of the Lifelong Learning Programme here yesterday, Bernama reported.
Abdul Aziz was asked whether the control of Islamic teaching was strict in Selangor.
