SHAH ALAM – Renowned preacher Azhar Idrus caught the attention of social media users and went viral after he was seen spending time with Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman over a meal at a restaurant recently.
In a 55-second video uploaded to Syed Saddiq’s TikTok account, the relaxed atmosphere between the two public figures featured conversations on various topics, including politics, leadership and responsibility towards the people.
Azhar offered valuable reflections on what it means to lead with integrity, reminding leaders of the importance of religious values and ethical conduct.
"Nowadays, many politicians, when they have power, they cut... If a right belongs to someone else and we take it, that is haram (forbidden).
"There is a hadith which means: whoever takes away the rights of another Muslim, Allah will make Hell compulsory for him and forbid his face from entering Paradise,” he solemnly reminded.
A lighter moment in the video showed Azhar teasing Syed Saddiq about his single status, prompting a flurry of amusing responses from online users.
Many took to the comments section to joke and pray for the young politician to soon find his romantic match.
The video quickly went viral across TikTok and other social media platforms, with many praising the wholesome interaction and wise advice shared during the brief yet fruitful encounter.
