Islam places great emphasis on the use of good and polite language because language reflects a person's morals, educational values and ethics. The use of good and polite language not only reflects a noble personality, but can also create a harmonious atmosphere and give a good impression to the listener and recipient.
These are among the contained in the Friday Sermon titled The Malay Language: The Soul, Identity and National Character. The prayer leader also underscored that in Brunei Darussalam, Malay language not only functions as a communication, but also becomes a symbol of identity, unity and the basis for the formation of community identity and culture.
Language is the soul of a nation and without the Malay language, part of our Bruneian heritage and identity will also be eroded. The Malay Language also has a close relationship with the Malay Islamic Monarchy Philosophy. Through this language, Islamic value are conveyed, noble traditions are preserved, knowledge is passed down and the advice of elders is listened to and respected. Therefore it is the responsibility of parents, teachers, community leaders and the younger generation to continue using the Malay language correctly, politely and with dignity. Let's not taint our language with abusive words or a style of communication that removes manners and respect.
