Continuous efforts to deepen the understanding of Al-Quran verses are essential for guidance and life lessons beyond just completing the recitation of all 30 Juzuk, Minister of Religious Affairs Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato Paduka Haji Awang Othman said.

He was speaking at the Nuqra Mega Convocation 2024 at Sutera Hall, Rizqun Hotel.

He also underscored the importance of sustaining Al-Quran learning as a lifelong journey.

The minister also emphasised that understanding and applying the teachings of Al-Quran are crucial for spiritual growth and moral guidance. The event celebrated the achievements of over 200 students from the Nuqra Quranic Learning Centre (NQLC). NQLC Managing Director Sukmawati Dewi binti Masduki also addressed the gathering.

Certificates were presented to students from NQLC’s three branches, who had completed various programmes, including foundation courses, tajwid studies, and full Al-Quran recitation.

A highlight of the event was the presentation of the Istiqamah Award to students who demonstrated exceptional dedication and commitment throughout their studies. The award serves as both recognition and encouragement for continued Al-Quran learning.

The convocation concluded with a group photo session and a dinner reception, celebrating the students’ accomplishments. – Fadley Faisal
