AROUND 200 adults, youths and children from the community of Kampong Sungai Akar and its surrounding areas recently held a mass Al-Quran recitation.
The ceremony at the Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Mosque after the Asar prayer, was part of organised recitations of Al-Quran and the Tasmik Al-Quran for the 50 times Khatam Al-Quran ceremony held to mark the Golden Jubilee 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’s reign.
Organised by the Village Consultative Council (MPK) of Kampong Sungai Akar and Rashidah Sa’adatul Bolkiah Mosque Takmir Committee, the religious event was also participated by Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ali bin Haji Apong, the Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism.
This was the second time the mass recital session was held.
