As well as for the 39 juz Quran hifzhil branch, Arabic, Indonesian and English interpretations, it was held at STIQ Al Lathifiyah Palembang.
“This year, the MTQ is limited so the number of participants is reduced because there are two branches that we are competing to reduce. But when compared to last year, the enthusiasm of the people who want to participate in this MTQ is still high,” he explained.
Not only that, the enthusiasm of the participants was also evidenced by the number of new kafila from various regions in South Sumatra that enlivened the MTQ.
This has certainly contributed to the acceleration of Herman Deru’s efforts to make South Sumatra a religious region free from illiteracy in the Qur’an.
“Many new kafila are participating in MTQ this year. And this indicates that this MTQ has been entrenched in people’s lives. This means that love for the Koran and the importance of religious knowledge is growing in our society,” he explained.
He also targeted that the MTQ activities which were carried out on an ongoing basis could further spark a sense of love for the Qur’an in the community.
“Our target is the birth of the best which we will bring to the national level. This is also our effort so that the one village and one tahfidz house program which was initiated by the Governor will grow so that the people of South Sumatra are free of literacy in the al-qur’an and in South Sumatra which are religious. “he concluded.
