User:Ray Roar-14/Selangor State Islamic Religious Department

Establishment overview
"Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (JAIS)" is an Islamic religious department under the administration of the Chief Secretary of the Selangor State Government. Its current director is Dato' Haji Haris bin Kasim. The main purpose of JAIS is to manage Islamic affairs in the state of Selangor, including the administration of Islamic religious matters, monitoring of religious institutions, and enforcement of Islamic laws.

The establishment of JAIS began with the concern of the late Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah Alhaj for the welfare of the people during the Japanese rule and the spread of communist ideology, which could jeopardize the moral values and beliefs of the Malay people at that time. His Majesty ordered the Selangor state government to establish the Department of Islamic Religious Affairs. On October 1, 1945, the Department of Islamic Religious Affairs was established, with YM Raja Haji Nong bin Raja Hussin appointed as its secretary. The temporary administrative office was located near the Sultan's office, close to the Kota Klang Palace, after receiving His Majesty's blessing and permission. The management funding was sourced from the royal allocation.

The establishment of this department helped the government's efforts to curb the spread of communist ideology in Malaya, while also improving the morals and beliefs of the Malay people at that time. After referring to the administration structure of the Johor Islamic Religious Department based on a visit to the Johor Islamic Religious Department in 1946, the Selangor State Constitution was enacted in 1947, covering the establishment of the Islamic Religious Affairs and Malay Customs Department. As a result of this development, the Islamic Religious Affairs Department was officially formed in January 1948. The old building of the Selangor Royal Club was chosen as its administrative office.
