Indonesia to Launch Quran Writing Event
"Through this program we would like to make Muslims understand Quran better
and implement its teachings in their daily life," Religion Minister Lukman
Hakim Saifudin said on Wednesday.
Promoting Quran in the society, he said, can be done through building a habit
to write, study, discuss and implement the values contained in it.
The minister added the program is aimed at building Indonesians character.
The Quran writing program is launched simultaneously from the central Ministry
down to local levels.
The program involves 40,128 Islamic boarding schools students across the
country.
"Each student will write two pages from Quran in an hour and so tens of
pages will be produced simultaneously within the period," Lukman said.
He said each province will contribute a sheet of a Quran page which will be
collected in the form of a book and delivered to President Joko Widodo at the
National Santri Day event in Serang, Banten province, on October 22, 2016.
