President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has called on all parties to actively participate in transforming Maldivian society into one guided by the principles of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

He also reminded the people that the Sunnah instructs them not to spread falsehoods or insults and to speak only good and truthful words.
