Minister of Religion Delivers Islamic Message on Anti-Corruption for Public Officials

Menag Nasaruddin Umar reminds public officials to watch out for gratuities disguised as gifts. In Islam, a gift because of a position that influences decisions or policies becomes haram. He quoted the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) reprimand to a zakat officer who accepted a gift because of his position. He also gave an example of the integrity of Umar bin Khattab, who gave the profits from his child's business to Baitul Mal to avoid special treatment. The Minister mentioned forms of corruption in Islam such as al-ghulul, riswah, and abuse of power. “A position is a trust, its misuse is betrayal. Leaders must be fair and not abuse their authority,” he stressed. He invites people to make integrity, trustworthiness, and honesty as guidelines, because corruption brings bad consequences in this world and the hereafter. https://kabarbaik.co/kasus-korupsi-semakin-marak-ini-pesan-luhur-islam-untuk-pejabat-publik-menurut-menteri-agama/
