Reading Quran To Upgrade Literacy Rate Among Muslims

Bandar Seri Begawan – Brunei encourages its ummah to read the Quranic verses to upgrade the literacy rate among Muslims in the country.

In a continuous effort to glorify the holy Quran, the Nuzul Al-Quran or the revelation of the holy book has been adopted as a national event.

The Quran is made up of 114 chapters called surah, which appear from the second chapter onward, roughly in order of length, beginning with the longest and ending with the shortest chapters.

The first chapter, al-Fatihah, is a short chapter that is recited during each of the five daily prayers and in many other prayers.

A typical chapter of the Quran may address any combination of the themes of God and creation, prophets and messengers from Adam to Muhammad, Islam as a faith and as a code of life, human responsibility and judgment, society and law.

Efforts in enhancing the literacy of the Quran reading in this country have been continuously carried out by all parties.

The government through the educational institutions has incorporated the Quran lesson in the curriculum.

In the international arena, Brunei has been participating in Quran glorifying activities.

This includes Quran reading and recitation competitions.

With all the universal content of the Quran, it provides knowledge to its readers.

Brunei, in this context, also celebrates the day of the Quran revelation.

Yesterday saw the rehearsal at the International Convention Centre in Berakas.

Touching on the theme 'Cintakan Negara Berteraskan Iman', Awang Haji Marzuki bin Haji Abdul Rahman, the Assistant Secretary of the Nuzul Alquran Ceremony Committee, said that loving the country based on faith is the best way to contribute to the country.
