Malaysia Mosques to Host Commemorations for Ismail Haniyeh
The National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, as well as the Putra Mosque and the Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque in Putrajaya will hold the “solat jenazah ghaib” (funeral prayer in the absence of the dead) for the resistance figure.
JAKIM Director-General Datuk Hakimah Mohd Yusoff said the funeral prayer for Haniyeh, who was killed in Tehran Wednesday, will be held after the Maghrib prayer.
“JAKIM invites the public to attend the funeral prayer as a sign of the solidarity of Muslims in Malaysia for the struggle of the Palestinian Muslims against the tyranny of the Israeli regime,” she said in a statement issued Thursday.
Hakimah said JAKIM was deeply saddened and expressed its condolences to Haniyeh’s family.
“The deceased was a respected figure and steadfast in the struggle to defend the Muslims in Palestine.
“May his soul be blessed and placed with the martyrs, the believers and the righteous,” she said.
