Maal Hijrah 1442H Best Mosque Management Award

IPOH, 7 October 2020 – Perak Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu presented prizes to the winners of the Video Recording Al-Quran Recitation Competition in conjunction with the Adult Level Maal Hijrah at the MB’s Office.

The competition, jointly organised by the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIPk) and the Islamic Religion and Information Committee Chairman’s office, was held online as the Movement Control Order was still being enforced.

State Islamic Religion and Information Committee Chairman Mohd Akmal Kamarudin said the adult category competition was organized following the very encouraging response during the youth category competition last July.

“During the MCO period, we could not hold the Al-Quran Recitation competition like in previous years, so we organised again the programme that was held recently.

"Alhamdulillah, the programme was well received by the Perak people and I hope such competitions can be held in the same way if the Pandemic has not subsided," he said after the Prize Giving Ceremony at the Menteri Besar's Office today.

In the competition, Nur Hakim Mohamed Nor emerged as the Qari champion while Noor Suhaiza Chulan was the Qariah champion.

Both the winners each took home RM2,000 in cash and a certificate.

The second place in both categories went to Mohamad Syazwan Abdullah and Nurul Isnani Mohd Jamaee, while the third place went to Mohamad Anas Razali and Habsah Ismail.

The runner-up and third place each took home RM1,500 and RM1,000 and a certificate respectively.

At the same ceremony, the Menteri Besar also presented the Best Mosque Management Award to Masjid Idrisiah, Kariah Bukit Bertam which took home RM5,000 and RM30,000 development allocation, while for the Best Cemetery Management Award went to Gelong Pepuyu Cemetery Management which won RM5,000 and RM10,000 cemetery development allocation.
