The RPN Kampong Pandan Mosque Takmir Committee organised a certificate presentation ceremony to commemorate 12 youth from the Belait District who completed the third edition of the Belait District Tahfiz Al-Quran Memorisation Programme at the mosque yesterday.
Belait District Mosque Affairs Officer Akup bin Haji Lamat, the guest of honour, was welcomed at the mosque by RPN Kampong Pandan Mosque Affairs Officer Abdul Qayyum bin Haji Aminuddin.
Abdul Qayyum said the 12 participating youth, aged 10 to 15, memorised 30 Juzuks from 2020 to 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony was only held recently with the lifting of restrictions, to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts made by the youth in perfecting their knowledge and recitation of Al-Quran.
Meanwhile, Akup hoped that they will continue to develop and expand their knowledge of Islam, as well as be role models for other youth.
The ceremony also saw the participating youth in the programme reciting verses of Al-Quran on stage to test the knowledge they had gained throughout the programme.
This was followed with the guest of honour handing over the certificates.
