KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pix) expressed the hope that Muslims in general and especially those in Malaysia will take the opportunity of Aidilfitri to forgive one another and foster peace and unity as prescribed by Prophet Muhammad. Reflecting on the current situation of Muslims, with conflicts occurring all around the world, Najib pointed out that it was very difficult to state that they were winning. Najib said that only those with big hearts could forgive, and Muslims, who were big-hearted, should choose the path of understanding and not one of contradiction for the sake of self-benefit. In another post, on Equality in Islam, Najib said Islam emphasised aspects of racial equality as well as recognised the honour of every human being regardless of race or ethnicity. Najib said the principle of equality was closely related to the principle of justice which was one of the fundamental principles of the country''s prosperity.
