Winners Named In Religious Story Telling Contest
By Hj Mohd Nordin

Bandar Seri Begawan - The final of story telling competition was held in conjunction with the Islamic New Year 1426 at the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan.

The guest of honour was Dato Paduka Awang Hj Abdul Rahman bin Hj Mohiddin, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The aim of the competition was to encourage children to participate in the celebration of significant days in the Islamic calendar, especially the Islamic New Year, by exemplifying the Islamic stories.

This will instill a healthy set of morals in the children. The competition was also aimed at exposing children to organisational commitments and spontaneous public speaking at a young age to shape them into devout Muslims.

A total of 65 children aged 12 and below, from Al-Quran and Muqaddam classes at mosques and suraus participated in, while seven "exceptional" participants were chosen to enter the competition.

The competition was organised by the Ministry of Religious Affairs through the Mosque Affairs Department in cooperation with the Islamic Eminence Development and Communication Section. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
