Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said Kazakhstan is also keen to make the Islamic university here as model for their Islamic university.

Speaking to reporters after receiving a courtesy by Chairman of Religious Affairs of Khazakstan, Khairat Lama Sharif at his office here today, Jamil Khir said the delegation will visit TH tomorrow to get insight into its administration and management.

The delegation will return to Malaysia after the haj season to study the construction of an Islamic university in this country.

Kazakhstan and Malaysia hope to exchange views and input in the development of Islam since both countries have Muslims as majority of the population and a diversity of religions.

"He is thankful because Malaysia is a much admired country in the context of Islam especially in the management of haj pilgrims," said Jamil Khir.

Asked about amulets with Quranic verses said to make people invincible found on Sulu terrorists in Sabah, he said the superstition was not according to Islamic teachings.

Most disappointing was that the Quranic verses were wrongly written and tied to the legs and groin area.

"Consequently, those who wore the amulets were killed. Amulets don't make them invincible as only god has the power to determine their fate," he added.
