Celebrate Aidilfitri according to Islamic teachings - Sultan Mizan

He said Muslims should not be too engaged in merry-making, forgetting prayers or indulge in idling, wastage, vices and so on.

"Seize the opportunity to practise the noble virtues as it has immense rewards.

"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) explained this when he said: "Whoever fasts in Ramadan, later accompanied by six days in the month of Syawal has completed fasting a year, the reward is like having fasted an entire year," he said in his Aidilfitri message here today.

He also called on Muslims to practise the culture of forgiving and fostering brotherhood and strengthening relations with one another by visiting among families, friends and neighbours.

Meanwhile, Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman in his Aidilfitri message advised Muslims to be more patient on the roads and practice careful driving during the festive period to avert any untoward incidents.

He said motorists should be courteous and control their anger as it could affect the way they drive.

Ahmad Razif also advised the people to be open minded as it would help them to meet the government's seven principles under the New Terengganu Transformation (TTB) concept for a brighter future.
