6. Royal Speech to the Dhammacharik Group at the Guest House of Thaksin Ratchaniwet Palace, Narathiwat, August 22, 1973:
   “… The work carried out by the Dhammacharik Group over the past three years has been highly effective, as it has enabled the Muslim population to understand their religion and practice it in a way consistent with being responsible citizens in Thailand. Islam has a strong foundation of goodness that deserves support, as it teaches everyone to be good citizens, disciplined, and benevolent toward one another. If properly supported and understood, these principles foster intellectual growth, progress, and stability for everyone. By reaching the population effectively, governance is strengthened, and the benefits of national initiatives are well realized.

The dissemination of true religious teachings is particularly important today, as modern material knowledge allows us to improve our lives with convenience and comfort. Demonstrating that religion does not conflict with progress helps ensure a better quality of life. The Dhammacharik Group, by teaching authentic religion alongside providing material advancements such as medical aid to remote communities, performs great merit. It corrects the misconception that devout believers must reject new knowledge contrary to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, who encouraged everyone to seek goodness and strengthen both individual and collective well-being. Here, ‘collective’ refers not only to villages or families but to the nation. Prophet Muhammad taught that citizens of a country must work together to preserve its peace and prosperity. Thailand, with its diverse religious communities, benefits when people act responsibly and peacefully. Therefore, Islam, particularly in the four southern provinces, is a vital force for national development, as its followers contribute to the country’s progress by living virtuously. Understanding and practicing religious principles is fundamental to this stability. May the work of the Dhammacharik Group be fully successful, and may all participants achieve strength, morale, and benefit, bringing happiness, prosperity, and success in all aspects.”

7. Royal Speech to Thai Muslims in Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala on the Occasion of Eid al-Fitr at Bulan Hall, Thaksin Ratchaniwet Palace, September 5, 1979:
   “… By observing the fast during the holy month of Ramadan, you train your mind and body to gain strength in accordance with the teachings of the holy scriptures. This training is crucial for all human beings. Anyone who strives to develop knowledge, skill, and physical and mental strength fulfills their human duty and attains peace. The aim of all religions, particularly Islam, is to cultivate capable individuals who can bring happiness to themselves, their communities, society, and the nation. Numerous religious injunctions encourage believers to practice these virtues, with the most important being the development of one’s strength—both physical and mental—for the benefit of the community and humanity at large, ensuring peace and well-being.

Your gathering today to offer blessings demonstrates unity and an understanding of the importance of collective cooperation. Furthermore, your charitable contributions, regularly made each year, are appreciated and have been allocated to support public welfare. I now entrust these funds to the Deputy Governor to be used in accordance with the intended purposes …”
