Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that using Jesus Alaihissalam and Moses Alaihissalam in the book is not permitted. Jesus and Moses are names used by non-Muslims in their own scriptures. The phrase alaihissalam is reserved for the names of prophets mentioned in the Quran, such as Nabi Isa and Nabi Musa. The usage does not conform to Islamic law and confuses Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu penggunaan perkataan JESUS Alaihissalam dan MOSES Alaihissalam dalam buku The New Muslim Guide adalah tidak dibenarkan kerana tidak menepati syara' serta mengelirukan umat Islam.
