Mosque near my workplace delivered an interesting topic for Khutbah during today's Friday prayers.

>TLDR: Today's Khutbah teaches that borders, race and nationality should never become barriers to compassion: help those in hardship, reject collective hatred, and respond to wrongdoing with justice, wisdom, education and mercy.

>It concludes by reminding Muslims not to insult or despise others because of differences in nationality, country, skin colour or culture; but instead practise justice, compassion and forgiveness, while keeping their hearts free from hatred.

>I also provided with Google Drive link of the Khutbah text if you are interested. (original text is only in Jawi, and I used Chatgpt to convert to Roman letterings. I did proofread the converted text myself.)

>feel free to comment if you're unable to access through!

>!Preachers promote compassion to religious to forgive "others" = embed racism of "us vs them." Meanwhile religious praise religion for being compassionate. LOL !<

"Serpihan komunis Melayu" video 28:47 in Malay language

History prevents repeating mistakes & wrongs.

Hope the video testimony shed a little happiness for anyone who needs it.

• Denmark plans nationwide ban on Islamic call to prayer.
• Government cites integration and public space concerns.
• Proposal may face constitutional and human rights challenges.
• Denmark extends restrictive immigration and integration policy.

Denmark's center-left government has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer from being broadcast over loudspeakers, arguing that the practice has "no place in Denmark" as the country pursues one of Europe's toughest immigration and integration policies.

Immigration Minister Morten Bødskov said the government would reopen a legal review into whether a nationwide prohibition on the adhan the Islamic call to prayer recited five times daily can be introduced without violating constitutional protections on religious freedom.

The proposal follows years of restrictive migration policies under Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democratic government, which has sought to reduce immigration while emphasizing cultural integration.

The announcement comes as several European governments continue tightening oversight of religious practices, foreign-funded mosques and immigration amid growing political debate over national identity and social cohesion. While Denmark has not yet introduced legislation, legal experts say any nationwide ban would likely be scrutinized under both the Danish Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects freedom of religion while allowing proportionate restrictions for public order and the rights of others.

Government Says Public Call to Prayer 'Has No Place in Denmark'

"The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops," Bødskov told Danish news agency Ritzau. "It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn't be in any doubt whether you've ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark."

The minister also argued that what he described as the country's "Islamisation" was occupying too much public space. His comments mark the third attempt by a Danish immigration minister to establish a legal framework for restricting the public broadcast of the adhan after similar initiatives were launched in 2020 and 2025.

Several Danish municipalities already restrict outdoor calls to prayer through local environmental and noise regulations. Copenhagen's Grand Mosque, one of approximately 100 mosques operating across Denmark, does not broadcast the adhan outdoors under an agreement with local authorities. According to Statistics Denmark, Muslims account for roughly 270,000 people in the country's population of about 6 million residents.

Denmark Has Tightened Immigration Rules Under Frederiksen

The proposed ban forms part of a broader immigration agenda pursued by Frederiksen since taking office in 2019. Denmark has implemented measures including the controversial "parallel societies" legislation formerly known as the "ghetto" laws which allows authorities to intervene in neighborhoods with high concentrations of non-Western immigrants.

The country also drew international attention for legislation requiring some asylum seekers to surrender valuable assets above a prescribed threshold to help cover accommodation costs, while rejected asylum applicants are generally ineligible for standard welfare benefits.

During Europe's 2015 migration crisis, Denmark accepted significantly fewer asylum applications than neighboring Germany and Sweden, reflecting its increasingly restrictive asylum policy.

Frederiksen began her third term earlier this month after forming a four-party coalition comprising the Social Democrats, Moderates, Social Liberals and Green Left following the March election. Although the coalition does not command an outright parliamentary majority, it is supported externally by the Red-Green Alliance, allowing it to pursue its legislative agenda.

Other European Countries Have Also Restricted Islamic Public Practices

Denmark would not be the first European country to impose restrictions affecting Islamic public practices, although a nationwide ban specifically targeting the call to prayer would be among the continent's most far-reaching measures.

Switzerland approved a constitutional ban on the construction of new mosque minarets in a national referendum held on Nov. 29, 2009. According to official results published by the Swiss Federal Chancellery, 57.5% of voters supported the amendment, with 22 of Switzerland's 26 cantons voting in favor. The constitutional amendment added Article 72(3), stating simply: "The construction of minarets is prohibited." At the time, the country had only four mosque minarets, despite an estimated Muslim population of approximately 400,000, according to the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.

Austria adopted the Islam Act 2015 (Islamgesetz 2015), which prohibited foreign funding for Islamic religious organizations and required Muslim associations to maintain what the legislation described as a "positive attitude toward the state and society." Austrian authorities said the law was intended to promote an independent Austrian form of Islam and reduce overseas influence on religious institutions. France also strengthened oversight of religious associations through its 2021 Law Reinforcing Respect for the Principles of the Republic, which President Emmanuel Macron said was designed to combat separatism while protecting religious freedom.

Germany has taken a different approach by regulating mosque loudspeakers through municipal noise ordinances rather than imposing a nationwide prohibition. In October 2021, Cologne became one of Germany's first major cities to authorize the adhan under a pilot program allowing mosques to broadcast the call once every Friday for up to five minutes, subject to strict decibel limits and neighborhood consultation. Similar rules apply in parts of the United Kingdom, where local councils determine whether mosques may use loudspeakers under environmental noise regulations.

Whether Denmark's proposed legislation ultimately becomes law will depend on the government's legal review and parliamentary support. If approved, it is expected to face judicial scrutiny over whether restricting a specific religious practice is compatible with constitutional protections and Denmark's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, potentially making it another landmark case in Europe's continuing debate over immigration, integration and religious freedom.
