President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has emphasized that empowering the nation’s youth requires a deep understanding of Islam and Maldivian identity, presented in a way that resonates with their mindset. He made these remarks during a ceremony held this morning at Dharubaaruge, commemorating the Day the Maldives Embraced Islam.
In his speech, President Muizzu underscored the importance of teaching young people the facts of Maldivian history and the nation's enduring independence in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them. He stressed that Islamic values and Maldivian national identity must be integrated into everyday life to ensure that these principles are fully understood and embraced by the younger generation.
The President further highlighted the need for gender equality in empowering youth, stating that all young Maldivians—regardless of gender—must be equipped to advocate for the nation and contribute to its development. He called for a focus on nurturing the moral and spiritual well-being of young people as part of this process.
During his address, President Muizzu outlined three key points: the representation of Muslims within Islam and the teachings of the Holy Quran, the presence of un-Islamic practices in modern Maldivian society, and the need to align national actions with Islamic values to address these challenges.
The Maldives marks the day it embraced Islam annually on the 2nd day of Rabi'ul Akhir, celebrating its Islamic heritage and cultural identity.
