Muslim World League launches Arabic language initiative for Qur’an memorizers in Southeast Asia
KUALA LUMPUR: The secretary-general of the Muslim World League, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa, inaugurated the Fourth Forum of the ASEAN Scholars Council in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, on Monday, which brought together senior Islamic scholars and muftis from across Southeast Asia.
As part of the council’s activities this year, Al-Issa launched a new Arabic-language program for huffaz (the name given to people who memorize the entire Qur’an) from member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, with the aim of enhancing their Arabic proficiency and supporting their understanding of Islamic texts.
The event also honored the second group of distinguished Qur’an memorizers from the region to receive ijazahs, formal certifications in Qur’anic recitation, through the league’s Global Technical Quran Recitation Platform.
The certifications were awarded through an authenticated chain of transmission that can be traced back to the Prophet Muhammad, which the league said reflects its efforts to promote Qur’anic education and preserve traditional methods of learning while also taking advantage of modern technological platforms.
