Summary

The Federal Territories Mufti Office does not regard everything taught in this seminar as problematic, but some content should be reviewed by a qualified panel because it may conflict with Islamic law. Rulings must be made carefully and only after the actual picture of a matter is understood. The public is advised not to accept everything presented merely because Quranic verses and Hadith are cited, and to strengthen their religious foundations first. Muslim motivators and training consultants are urged to be more careful in conveying knowledge and to align their modules with the Quran and the Sunnah.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Justeru, tidak wajar bagi audien untuk menerima segala-galanya tanpa menilai semula apa yang didengari daripada motivator dan perunding latihan.
