Complaints made against Malaysia first syariah-compliant airline, Rayani Air over its services has gained the attention of Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dasuki.

In a statement on his Facebook page yesterday, he said Rayani Air needs to improve many things, including its services as a syariah-compliant airline company.

He said, the concept of syariah should not be limited to attire, but most importantly, its implementation should be made wider.

RAYANI AIR ni rupanya indah khabar dari rupa. Batalkan penerbangan sesuka hati hingga menyusahkan orang yang sudah...

"Islam is not a label, let alone to be bought or sold. But its principles, values and morals need to be fulfilled," he wrote.

Asyraf said he is concerned what's happening with Rayani Air may affect the non-Muslims' perception towards Islam, who may see Islam as religion that stresses only on outward appearances.

He also advised people not to use Islam to gain popularity, without fully understanding and implementing its values.
