KOTA BHARU: The Chinese Muslim Association of Malaysia (Macma) of Kelantan is using the internet to conduct Quran recitation (tadarus) sessions during Ramadan through the online apps, Google Meet.
Its chairman Dr Johari Yap said the initiative is in line with the requirements of the movement control order (MCO) and began sessions on April 19.
He said the tadarus sessions received good response, with the participation of 21 Macma members from all over the country including Sabah and Sarawak.
“Before this, tadarus sessions were held at each of the Macma branches nationwide, but after the MCO was extended to May 12, they decided to hold the online sessions.
“Each of our recitations will be monitored and corrected by three young hafiz — Danial Anas Yap, Adam Anas Yap and Danish Anas Yap, who are also the sons of Macma president Datuk Dr Prof Taufiq Yap Yun Hin,” he told reporters here today.
Johari said outside of the Ramadan month, the Quran classes are also held daily to inculcate a Quran reciting culture in the daily routine and highlight its importance in life.
He said the group hopes to complete the recitals by the 22nd of Ramadan which is on May 15. – Bernama
