TV AlHijrah is proud to welcome back Ustaz Don Daniyal Don Biyajid, a significant figure who has contributed immensely to our station's growth since its inception. The narrative that Ustaz Don was 'blacklisted' or 'banned' is simply untrue. We believe in providing space and time for individuals to address and resolve issues, especially when they involve religious authorities.

Ustaz Don adalah seseorang yang kami sangat hargai sumbangannya kepada TV AlHijrah sejak awal lagi. Video-video lama beliau pun masih tular sehingga hari ini. Saya yakin ini adalah proses pembelajaran dan kematangan untuk beliau dan juga untuk media seperti TV AlHijrah.

Ustaz Don's reappearance on our screens, particularly during the Hajj season with programs like 'Labbaikallah Talbiyah Haji Bersama Ustaz Don' and 'Refleksi Haji Ustaz Don,' is a testament to his enduring influence and our commitment to offering valuable religious content. His past videos continue to resonate, proving his lasting impact.

Beliau sebenarnya tidak pernah ‘digam’ oleh masyarakat atau TV AlHijrah. Kami cuma memahami bahawa setiap isu memerlukan tempoh bertenang. Apabila tempoh itu sudah selesai dan beliau sendiri telah bertemu dengan institusi agama, segalanya dipermudahkan.

— Namanzee HarrisNamanzee Harris clarifying that Ustaz Don was not banned by the public or TV AlHijrah, but was given time to resolve issues after meeting with religious institutions.

Our decision to bring him back was made after careful deliberation and consultation with religious bodies, including the Mufti of Federal Territories and JAKIM. This ensures that his return is met with the necessary blessings and approvals. We view TV AlHijrah as Ustaz Don's 'original home,' and we are confident that this phase marks a period of learning and maturity for both him and the media landscape in Malaysia.

Harapan kami sangat tinggi kerana TV AlHijrah adalah ‘rumah’ asal Ustaz Don. Selepas beliau melalui ujian tersebut, kami mendoakan yang terbaik dan merasakan ini adalah masa yang sesuai untuk beliau kembali.

We are optimistic about his renewed presence and believe it aligns perfectly with our Hajj season theme, 'Arafah: Puncak Munajat dan Harapan' (Arafah: The Peak of Prayer and Hope). This move is not just about reinstating a popular figure; it's about fostering growth, understanding, and continuing to serve our audience with impactful programming.
