As a result, the mosque pulpit operates primarily as a structured channel of moral transmission to shape civic behaviour through religious authority.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAcross states, the “good Muslim citizen” is prescribed as being disciplined, loyal to constitutional authority, socially harmonious and resistant to extremism. Participatory or adversarial democratic engagement is much less emphasized than are stability and cohesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelangor articulates a constitutional model; Sarawak advances integrative federal coexistence; federal territories mirror executive narratives (from Keluarga Malaysia to Malaysia Madani); Pahang advances a protectionist model centred on Malay-Muslim guardianship; Kelantan emphasizes theologically bounded and stability-oriented citizenship; and Pulau Pinang foregrounds ethical pluralism. Variation exists, but harmony remains the shared core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe rapid transition from Keluarga Malaysia to Malaysia Madani themes in federally prepared khutbahs demonstrates institutional alignment with the agenda of the incumbent prime minister. This highlights the pulpit’s role in nationwide narrative management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompeting Islamic visions (Malaysia Madani versus a PAS-led opposition) and theological orientations (Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah versus Salafi-Wahhabism) shape contestation, thus necessitating civic discourse anchored in Islamic ethical principles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003eThis book is on the press and will be available for purchase from 26 August 2026.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"z-format\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat: \u003c\/b\u003ePB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"z-number-of-pages\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e31\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"z-publication-date\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003e03\/08\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"z-imprint\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eImprint: \u003c\/b\u003eISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syaza Shukri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47999069192370,"sku":"9789815361810","price":127790.19,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/files\/9789815361810.jpg?v=1788733364","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/en-id\/products\/9789815361810","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
