Letters to the Editor: Query on Hijrah song being telecast

Dear Editor,

WE have been hearing a song being telecast again and again on RTB about Hijrah.

Towards the end of the song, the singer says that Hijrah is "kerana Allah" (for Allah's sake) and "kerana Rasulullah" (for Rasulullah's sake).

As a Muslim, I have always believed that all acts of worship (ibadah), including "hijrah" are for Allah's sake only and to do them for any other thing tantamounts to polytheism (syirik).

Could the religious authorities clarify the matter the soonest possible and advise Muslims if the song being sung is not in contradiction to the pure aqidah of Islam (Islamic monotheism)?

One would hope that the religious authorities would take a very serious approach on matters such as this in line with His Majesty's titah marking the new Hijrah Year 1434.
