Brunei’s Youths yesterday were reminded to occupy themselves during this holy month of Ramadan with the beneficial act of Quran reading, as well as other religious activities.
This message to the young generation was revisited during a religious lecture that was held in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports’ annual Quran reading activities held especially for the youths.
The lecture, entitled Belia Berjiwa Besar, was delivered by an Islamic Da’wah Centre official, Ustaz Hj Mail Besar, during the ceremony at the Al-Ameerah AlHajjah Maryam Mosque in Kg Jerudong.
Addressing youths who comprised this year’s batch of qari and qariah (male and female Quran readers), Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College (Kupu SB) graduates, alumni of the Ship for Southeast Asia Youth Program (SSEAYP) and from other youth organizations, Ustaz Hj Mail urged youths to spend their time “wisely”.
The official explained that this can be achieved by carrying out “beneficial” activities, especially reading the Quran.
“Reading is one of the most fulfilling activities that you can do. Even more so if what is being read is Quran,” he told the youths.
Culture, Youth and Sports Minister Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Laila Diraja Dato Paduka Hj Hazair Hj Abdullah, Permanent Secretaries Dato Paduka Hj Jemat Hj Ampal and Dato Paduka Hj Mohd Hamid Hj Jaafar were among the senior officials to grace the ceremony.
Joining the youths as well were officers and staff from the ministry, the mosque’s committee and members of Kg Jerudong Consultative Council, making the total number of people present to about 400.
Following the lecture, the Quran recitation itself began with a recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah led by the Jerudong mosque’s imam, Hj Sabtu Hj Abdullah.
