The position of Islam in Southeast Asia will be threatened if Muslims in this country become weak because of disunity, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
He said Malaysia is the only country where Islam is the official religion thus allowing the government to implement various Islamic projects.
"They include building international class institutions of higher learning," he said at a breakfast function at Kampong Lubuk Batu, Bukit Merbau here, Saturday.
The higher education institutions also benefit Muslims in this region who can pursue their studies here.
The international Quran recitation competition held annually also put Malaysia at the forefront in efforts to spread Islam, he added.
