The guest of honour, Penghulu of Mukim Kilanas, Haji Abdullah bin Haji Halus, presented the prizes to the winners and participants.
The competition was organised by the Department of Mosque Affairs and the Committee of Jame’ ‘Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque in commemoration of Brunei Darussalam’s 32nd National Day.
The winners will represent their respective mosque associations in a national competition due to be held on May 26 and 28.
The competition was a continuation from last year, and aims to be an annual event.
The difference this year was the added participation of mosque officers and invited teams from the Department of Islamic Studies and lecturers from Religious Teachers University College of Seri Begawan (KUPU SB).
The organisers hoped that the competition will not only designate the mosques as a place of worship but also play a role in the dissemination of Islamic teachings, as a means of encouraging the Islamic community to be more active in the affairs of the mosque.
The competition also hopes to achieve several objectives, among them includes creating a platform to spread the greatness of Islam, to uncover hidden talents from the respective groups, to answer the aspiration 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 to raise the country as a Zikir Nation, to generate mosques as place of religious gathering for the Islamic community regardless of age, to encourage a sense of passion in participating in Islamic competitions and to make Tausyeh songs a part of their lives.
