ISKANDAR PUTERI - The Unity Government has never forced non-Muslims to memorise or study Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadis, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the 'Imam Al-Nawawi's 40 Hadis' appreciation module is intended only for Muslim teachers and students and the move is to strengthen their understanding of Islam, especially among young people.

"The initiative is for Muslims, especially young people because it is important for them to master and understand Islam, so non-Muslims should not misunderstand.

"Deepening religious knowledge is based on the Quran, Hadis and the interpretation by authoritative scholars," he told reporters after a meeting with the Unity Government machinery here, today.

Last Aug 19, the Ministry of Education launched the 'Imam Al-Nawawi's 40 Hadis' appreciation module aimed at fostering hadis appreciation starting at the school level
