By Ahmed Shaheeb

Bandar Seri Begawan - In conjunction with the Maulidur Rasul celebration, a 'dikir syarafl anam' competition was held at Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama Seri Begawan (KUPU SB).

Present as guest of honour was Dr Haji Abdullah bin Haji Awang Lampoh, Deputy Ra'es at Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama. After the Surah al-Fatihah led by Awg Morsidi bin Haji Awg Tuah, Awg Haji Kairol Amri bin Haji Talipuddin gave a welcoming speech.

The guest of honour, who gave away prizes, said the competition was aimed at giving participants of the `WKU 2103 - kokurikulum: teori dan Konsep,' a practical lesson in event organizing procedure. It was also hoped the practice of dikir will be a continuous practice among the graduates from KUPUSB and as a form of contribution to the Muslim community specifically and Brunei in general.

After the competition, a Rawi performance by Awg Muhd Fahmie bin Haj i Awg Metussin entertained the crowd while the panel of judges led by Ustaz Haji Razak bin Tahir deliberated their verdicts.

In the men's category, the Nurul Akmal group came first with their rendition of "Al-Hamd" with a score of 81.5percent followed by Baitur Rahmah in second and Ash-Shabab in third place.

In the women's category, Ar-Raudah clinched the top prize with their performance of "bisyahrin" with a score of 85.5percent. Second place went to An-Najihah while Hurul Aini fmished third. The event ended with supplication read by Awg Morsidi. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
