The event was attended by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Sheikh Salah Muhammad Al-Budair, Imam of the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
Mohd Na’im said religious affairs agencies will continue to lead Quran-related development programmes. He pointed to Darul Quran, under the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), as a key reference centre in professional tahfiz studies, having trained thousands of skilled huffaz.
He also noted that the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme for tahfiz students was designed to produce memorizers of the Quran who also possess technical, business, and other professional skills.
According to him, this year’s MTHQA, themed “Developing a MADANI Ummah,” reflects the government’s commitment to advancing the dignity of the Muslim community.
