New Converts Trained On Quran Reading

Temburong - New converts in the Temburong District are given the guidance and information they need in order to further understand the proper teachings of the Islamic religion.

This is in accordance to the objectives of the Islamic Dakwah Unit of the district, which is to provide religious teaching and to help converts to further understand and practice the teachings of Islam through practical training and Quranic guidance.

The achievements of the newly converted denizens of the Temburong District can be a cause of pride as it shows that the efforts of the Islamic Dakwah Unit has produced new Muslim converts who carry with them the ability to be able to fluently read the Al-Quran and memorise the Ayat-Ayat Lazim and Nasyid.

This is evidenced by their winning performances in Quran reading competitions among new converts in the country for six consecutive years.

Among the efforts that have been implemented include the basic guidance schemes for converts to strengthen their understanding and educate them in the teachings of Islam as well as to strengthen their hold towards the Islamic religion.

Last year, the district had recorded as many as 35 converts. In January this year, it has recorded three more converts.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Dakwah Unit has not ignored the welfare of the converts. It has provided shelter, water facilities and home comforts.

The officers and staff in the Islamic Dakwah Unit have made several visits to the remote areas in their efforts to further propagate Islamic teachings. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
