MALAYSIAN ASTRONAUT GETS PEACE AWARD FOR PROMOTING ISLAM IN SCIENCE
By Salmy Hashim Bernama – Wednesday, May 14WASHINGTON, May 13 (Bernama)–

The Islamic Shura Council of Southern California has awarded Malaysia’s first astronaut, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, the Peace Award for his extraordinary effort in promoting Islam in science. Council executive director, Dr Shakeel Syed said Dr Muszaphar had stressed the importance of performing his ‘ibadah’ (religious obligations) even while carrying out his work as an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS).

“As an astronaut who did his work in the most professional manner while working alongside astronauts of other faiths, he did not forget his identity as a Muslim. “He made us feel very proud of what he has accomplished, a perfect role model for other Muslims, an ambassador of Islam in the 21st century,” he told Bernama in a telephone interview from Anaheim, California today.

The council is the umbrella organisation of 250 mosques and several Muslim associations in California. There are roughly one million Muslims in California. This year, the council invited Dr Muszaphar to deliver the keynote address at its 15th annual dinner celebration on Sunday (yesterday). — MORE SH SH GR
