The gas explosion in Putra Heights has left many without their homes and vehicles, turning their lives upside down in an instant. During this tough time, Muslim victims have also found no place available to conduct prayers.
Fortunately, one Hindu temple generously opened its doors to these victims, once again showcasing the multicultural spirit and unity of Malaysians.
M’sian Hindu temple offers space for Muslims to pray
In a remarkable show of interfaith solidarity, the leader of the Sri Maha Kaliamman Temple in Putra Heights has opened the temple’s doors to provide a prayer space for victims of the explosion, which was shared by Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang in a Facebook post.
This comes after the explosion caused severe damage to several buildings, including a mosque, leaving worshippers without a proper place to pray.
Recognising the urgency of the situation, the temple leaders swiftly stepped in to offer assistance, allowing those affected to perform prayers in a safe and peaceful environment.
This selfless gesture has been met with praise from various quarters, including community leaders and local residents.
Many have commended the temple for exemplifying Malaysia’s spirit of religious tolerance and unity. The initiative also highlights the importance of coming together to support one another in times of crisis.
According to Kosmo!, a resident expressed deep appreciation, stating that such actions strengthen the bond between different faiths. He hopes that this spirit of togetherness will continue and serve as an example for future generations.
Beyond a prayer space
In addition to providing a place for prayer, the temple is also working with other organisations to extend aid to the victims.
The assistance includes food, clothing, and other essential supplies to help those affected recover from the tragedy.
This inspiring act of kindness is a reminder that humanity transcends religious differences. In difficult times, unity and compassion can bring comfort, hope, and healing to those in need.
