Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that using the phrases 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 word Alaihissalam is to be used with the names of prophets as mentioned in the Quran, namely Prophet Isa and Prophet Musa, and the other usage is considered not in accordance with Islamic law and confusing to 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 syarak serta mengelirukan Umat Islam.
