(Bandar Seri Begawan, 18th) Senior Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office, Crown Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah stated, "On this blessed and meaningful morning, I first extend my deepest gratitude to Allah, thanking Him for His grace and mercy, allowing us the opportunity to gather and commemorate the great Isra' and Mi'raj."
This extraordinary event elevated the honor of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the great guide for all humanity. Behind this event lies a supreme commandment: the five daily prayers. When Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ascended to heaven, Allah Himself prescribed this, reflecting the highest dignity of prayer as a pillar of religion and the moral steadfastness of Muslims.
This year's celebration theme, "Prayer is the Core of Outstanding Human Capital," is closely aligned with the nation’s development needs. In fact, the measurement of one’s excellence lies not only in physical strength or superior intellect, but in spiritual strength, moral cultivation, and self-discipline. These qualities are fostered through devout prayers.
"The heart of one who prays is focused solely on Allah, making the heart pure, calm, and healthy."
Therefore, only a healthy and wise mind can distinguish between good and evil. These are key characteristics in developing a well-balanced and outstanding human capital. One should not only excel academically or technically, but also possess deep spiritual faith, noble morals, and a high degree of integrity.
In Brunei tradition, outstanding talents should be knowledgeable, cultured, devout, and possess noble moral character. The cultivation of such outstanding talents begins with a strong family system; the family is the primary foundation for shaping a child’s character, morals, and conduct.
In light of this, it is essential to comprehensively and holistically strengthen the family system. His Majesty the Sultan once emphasized: "A family built on faith, devotion, and love for Allah will be a family filled with peace, love, and grace."
