TO ENLIVEN the fasting month of Ramadhan, the Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism (MPRT) held its first Tedarus at the Suri Seri Begawan Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Damit Mosque in Kg Manggis/Madang yesterday.
The guest of honour, the Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ali bin Haji Apong led the Tedarus with the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and verses from Al-Quran followed by the breaking of fast and mass Maghrib prayer.
Imam Nuzli bin Haji Jumat led the congregation to perform the prayer.
The Tedarus ceremony is an annual activity aimed at strengthening ties between MPRT officials and the village community, and to reap more rewards by reading Al-Quran.
The religious ceremonies will continue to be organised by various ministries and government departments throughout the holy month of Ramadhan.
Similar events will be held at the Duli Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Damit Mosque in Mukim Kilanas on June 6 and Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Mosque in Kampong Sungai Akar on June 10.
