Temburong Converts Hold Terawih, Bertedarus Prayers

Temburong – Converts of Kampong Sibut in Temburong District held Sunat Terawih prayers and Bertedarus at the kampong prayer hall to glorify the month of Ramadan.

The Kampong Sibut Prayer Hall is the centre of religious activities for converts residing in Mukim Amo.

The converts in Mukim Amo learn to read the Muqadam and the Al-Quran by attending classes arranged by the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Islam encourages its followers to study in depth the teachings of the Al-Quran in particular during the month of Ramadan to evoke blessings from Allah the Almighty.

Two converts from Kampong Sibut could now read the Al-Quran well after attending such classes.

Awang Al-Hussaini Bin Orang Kaya Haji Nordin, Imam of the Kampong Sibut Prayer Hall, said various religious activities are in the line up to further enhanced religious knowledge amongst the converts.

Young children and youths are not exempted from attending the Bertedarus.

The act of fasting has taught converts in the district on the benefits of going without food during the day time.

Dayang Hamidah Binti Mohammad Kassim assured that although she had just converted to Islam, abstaining from food and drink is no ordeal to her.
