Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that not every belief in Nur Muhammad is deviant. Some recognised scholars accepted the concept with an interpretation that stays within the bounds of Islamic creed and law, namely that it is the first of Allah's creations, is created rather than eternal, and has no divine element. Interpretations that make it a part of Allah's essence contradict Islamic creed and are deviant. The matter is treated as a khilafiyyah issue, and condemning the concept as a whole without examination is discouraged.
