The Brunei Council on Social Welfare (MKM) held a Khatam Al-Quran, Tedarus and iftar ceremony for 35 needy families under its care at the Sengkurong Mosque on Tuesday.
Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Pengiran Dato Seri Paduka Haji Mohd Tashim bin Pengiran Haji Hassan attended the ceremony organised by MKM’s Youth Wing. MKM President Mohd Yusof bin Halim, Acting Village Head of Kampong Sengkurong ‘A’ Haji Latif bin Haji Tengah and Acting Village Head of Kampong Sengkurong ‘B’ Abdul Razak bin Haji Ismail were present.
Heads of family attending the ceremony received cash envelopes of Zakat distributions received by MKM. MKM also donated 50 prayer mats and prayer books to the mosque.
MKM’s Vice President 3 and Head of Youth Wing Abang Masrur bin Abang Zainuddin said the ceremony aimed to celebrate Ramadhan and cultivate the habit of reading Al-Quran.
MKM recently distributed more than 13,000 food packs over 17 days to the needy in Brunei.
They are also distributing 1,000 foodpacks each day of Ramadhan to Rohingyan refugees and Bangladeshi homeless in Cox Bazar, Bangladesh, and will be breaking fast with the needy and orphans of Kampong Menunggol today. MKM wholly depends on donations to run its charity programmes.
