SHAH ALAM – New muallafs (Muslims converts), together with their families, friends and people from various backgrounds, gathered in the spirit of Ramadan through the "Table for Unity: Ramadan in Diversity" programme held at the Karangkraf Complex, here on Friday.
The programme, organised by the New Muslims Community (NMC) under humanitarian charitable body Al Khaadem with the cooperation of Sinar Harian, Sinar Daily and Karya Bestari, served as a platform for discussions on unity and shared national values previously highlighted during the New Muslims Community Conference (NMCC) 2025 in Kuala Lumpur.
It also featured a casual sharing session with Transport Minister Anthony Loke and Al Khaadem president and founder Datuk Dr Hussain Yee, who spoke about Malaysia as a home for all Malaysians regardless of background.
The programme also highlighted the unique role that converts to Islam can play in strengthening understanding among different communities in Malaysia’s multicultural society.
The discussion also touched on the life experiences of converts before and after embracing Islam, placing them in a special position to serve as a bridge of understanding between communities.
The programme was followed by the Iftar ala Madinah breaking of fast event, reflecting the spirit of unity among Malaysians.
Held in an open and community-inspired setting, guests sat together to break fast while sharing food and interacting in a simple and warm atmosphere.
They also had the opportunity to visit the Quran printing facilities at the Karangkraf Complex to get a closer look at the production process of one of the most widely read texts in the world.
