By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - To glorify Ramadhan as a month when al-Quran was sent down to guide mankind, the Ministry of Education will be organising a mass al-Quran recital or Bertedarus ceremony on November I at the Kg Sg Hanching Mosque in Jalan Muara.

Hosted by Pehin Dato PadukaAwang Hj Suyoi bin Hj Osman, Deputy Minister of Education, the religious activity of Tedarus will commence after the mass Asr prayers.

The al-Quran recital will be followed by a Tahlil and Doa Arwah, led by Imam Hj Mahalee bin Hj Besar.

The event will continue with a bersungkai ceremony.

After mass Maghrib prayers, those attending the ceremony will be treated to a sumptuous dinner.

The multi-religious activities are aimed at glorifying the month of Ramadhan with fruitful religious activities while fostering closer relationship among the staff of Ministry of Education.

The secretary of Takmir Committee of Masjid Kg Sg Hanching, Hj Mohd Zaide bin Hj Damit called for another greater participation of the event by Muslims residing in the vicinity of the mosque.

He said by attending the event, Muslims can feel the importance of Ramadhan and the spiritual aspects of fasting.

"Ramadhan is a month devoted to worshipping. Fasting is not meant to punish the body but to strengthen the mind and directing it to higher beings.

"Therefore by participating in religious activities, we are boosting and revitalising our weak iman (faith) so that we can adhere to the commands of Allah in the way shown to us by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)," he said.

He added fasting is an exercise of discipline and a total act of worship.

"Indeed, the month of Ramadhan should be used to reflect and question whether we Muslims are really on the right path," he said. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
