Khatam Al-Quran BruManch-BruKeele

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Assalamu'alaikum wrb people!

"Barang siapa yang membaca Al-Quran, kemudian berdoa sesudahnya (Doa Khatam) nescaya turut serta mengucap, mengaminkan doanya oleh 4000 malaikat"

Alhamdulillah, about 88 Bruneian students in the UK, from Manchester, Keele, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Lancaster had their Khatam Al-Quran, organised by BruManch-BruKeele at Manchester Central Mosque, Rusholme, Manchester, last Saturday!

The event started at 10.30am with the arrival of our guest of Honour, Yang Mulia, Cikgu Ali Hamdani Haji Muhamad Diah, Pengarah Pengajian, Unit Penuntut-Penuntut, and officers of Unit Penuntut-Penuntut Brunei in the UK.

A successful event indeed thanks to everyone involved!

Our guest of Honour, Cikgu Ali Hamdani Haji Muhamad Diah, inserted in his speech,
"Saya ingin menyeru kepada para pelajar supaya majlis ini di adakan sebagai platform bagi menanamkan dan menyuburkan budaya membaca, mempelajari, dan mengamati Al-Quran, serta mengamalkan ajaran-ajaran-Nya, sebagai amalan harian untuk kepentingan diri, agama, bangsa dan negara. Ia merupakan manifestasi penghayatan terhadap falsafah ketani, Negara Melayu Islam Beraja, bagi menjunjung Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia sebagai sebuah negara zikir dan rakyat celik Al-Quran."


The highlight speech from;
BruManch President; "Saya percaya penganjuran majlis seperti ini bukan sekadar untuk meraikan kejayaan kami menamatkan pengajian membaca Al-Quran serta bagi mengeratkan ukhwah silaturrahim di antara penuntut-penuntut tetapi juga sebagai inisiatif mengalakkan kami untuk lebih berjinak-jinak dengan Al-Quran. Ini adalah sejajar dengan titah Kebawah Duli sempena Majlis Sambutan Nuzul Al-Quran Peringkat Negara Tahun 1433 Hijrah bersamaan 2012 Masihi yang mana hasrat baginda ingin ‘melahirkan generasi Al-Quran'."

BruKeele President; "Majlis ini merupakan satu kesinambungan bagi menjadikan amalan membaca Al-Quran sebagai satu budaya yang berterusan selain daripada mengamalkan Sunnah Rasulullah SAW dan untuk meningkatkan tahap bacaan dan kualiti Al-Quran. Sabda Rasulullah SAW,
'Yang sebaik-baik kamu ialah orang yang mempelajari Al-Quran, dan mengajarkannya.'"

Amin. Amin. Amin. In sya Allah.

We would like take this opportunity to congratulate the students involved in Khatam Al-Quran 2013! May there more Islamic-based events be organised with others in the future, In sya Allah! x
