Bandar Seri Begawan - A Workshop on thaharah (cleanliness) was conducted for Muslim women of Kg Sg Besar in efforts to enhance their knowledge and better appreciate the teachings of Islam on the issue.

The workshop is a collaboration between Year Two students reading the Bachelor of Religious Teaching, in Syariah or Usuluddin at the Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College (KUPU SB) and Kg Sg Besar Mosque Committee.

Hjh Rohani Kamis, secretary for the workshop said the event was one of KUPU SBin community work.

The workshop was the second of its kind to be organised. The first was held at Jame' Mr Hassanil Bolkiah, she said.

The course also provided participants the opportunity to refine their knowledge on the procedure in performing ablution (wudhu), tayammum (a substitute for wudhu in the absence or impossibility of using water) and others.

The workshop featured Hjh Siti Huzainayati Hj Abd Kadir, Haslinah Hj All Akbar, Hjh Masnah Kamis and Hjh Kamaliah Hj Kasim teaching staff from KUPU SB as panel members.

Present as guest of honour was Datin Hjh Maimoonah Hj Omar, wife of Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs who said through the workshop, participants would be able to discuss and learn in detail (issues related to thaharah).

"Even though thaharah have been mentioned in countless number of books, and preached at religious classes, it still needs to be expanded in an accurate and effective way to make it more interesting," she said.

Datin Hjh Maimoonah hoped that more of such workshop, which was catered especially for women, would be held in the future.

She urged the participants to use the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and benefit from the explanations given.-- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
