The Moon will be eclipsed on the first night in Ramadan, and the Sun will be eclipsed on its middle, and these signs have not appeared since God created the Heavens and the Earth.”

Islam in Malaysia

Malaysia is a multiracial country with a population that currently stands at 33 million, of which approximately 63 percent are Muslims. Islam is constitutionally the country’s official religion, with the freedom to practice other religions. The Shariah Law in Malaysia is only applicable to Muslims and is used to resolve conflicts relating to creed and family matters.
