Citizens must be grateful for having a mosque, surau or religious in their catchment areas. This was stated by the Minister of Religious Affairs at the commemoration of the Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque's 25th anniversary. Yang Berhormat Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato Paduka Haji Awang Othman also underlined that by holding on to the concept of being grateful, Muslims will not only earn rewards, but also the added value that is promised by Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala.

The ceremony included the reading of Doa Tahlil for former bilals who worked at the said mosque, and the Mass Fardhu Maghrib and Isya' prayers. The ceremony was organised by the mosque's takmir committee.
