Meeting The Mufti of Wilayah Persekutuan

On Friday May 25, 1012, I went to Masjid Wilayah for Friday Prayer with my father.

Over there I met Dato’ Haji Wan Zahidi bin Wan Teh, Uncle Dr. Yusri Mohammad, Uncle Ustaz Ismail Mina Ahmad, Abang Sharafuddin, Uncle Mansor and many more.

Dato’ Haji Wan Zahidi bin Wan Teh is the Mufti of Wilayah Persekutuan.

A mufti is a very respected Islamic leader who knows a lot about Islam.

I am very happy to meet Dato’ Haji Wan Zahidi and I can’t believe that I could meet a mufti that Friday.
