TO PROMOTE local students' literacy and proficiency in reading the holy book, a Murattal Al-Quran course was recently held to train educators in the skill.
According to Ustazah Hjh Fatimah Hj Abd Ghani, the acting director of the Islamic Studies Department, the course was hoped to produce qualified educators who can then introduce a similar programme in their respective schools.
This is one of the ways to ensure that all religious students can read the Quran, in line with the government's aspiration for the Sultanate to be a Zikir nation.
Yesterday, 102 officers and religious teachers from secondary schools and technical and vocational institutions in the Brunei-Muara District received certificates of participation after having successfully finished the course. The course was aimed to improve the capability and skill of the teachers and officers to read the Quran in a murattal way (by "singing" the verses with the correct and proper pronunciation).
The course which started last June was supervised by six facilitators, five from the Religious School Unit and one from the Research, Exercise and Scholarship Unit of the Islamic Studies Department. (ANH1) The Brunei Times
