In her welcoming speech, Ustazah Hajah Rusita binti Haji Yahya, the Acting Director of Islamic Studies under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, stated that from 1991 to 2015, the scheme has produced 1,043 pupils who completed their Al-Quran reading before the age of 10.
“The Islamic Studies Department will continue to work and cooperate with parents and the community from time to time, to uphold the wish of His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, for the nation to be Al-Quran literate, and to realise the aspirations for Brunei Darussalam to be a Zikir Nation,” she said.
Two hundred and eighty pupils registered for the semi-finals, with 48 proceeding to the national finals. The Brunei I area of the Brunei-Muara District recorded 18 participants in the finals, which is the highest number for all four districts.
The scheme is designed to motivate children to complete 30 Juzuks before the age of 10, and to instil the reading of Al-Quran as a lifelong habit.
