Yayasan Taqwa-MAIWP Channels RM50,000 To Upgrade Surau At-Taqwa In Janda Baik
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Yayasan Taqwa of the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) has channelled RM50,000 to upgrade Surau At-Taqwa in Kampung Chemperoh, Janda Baik, Pahang.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said the assistance would be used for repair works at the surau for the villagers' benefit.
'I personally inspected the surau and took note of the needs that will be addressed with this fund.
'Hopefully, the upgrades will make the surau more comfortable and conducive, while upholding the syiar of Islam in this village,' he said in a statement today.
Earlier, he presented a mock cheque to the surau management.
Mohd Naim also visited Ma'ahad An-Noer, a centre for higher Islamic and Al-Quran studies founded by Syeikh Muhammad Nuruddin Marbu Al-Banjari Al-Makki.
He said the ma'ahad played a key role in producing Islamic scholars and huffaz (Quran memorisers), who are valuable assets to the ummah.
In support of this noble effort, Mohd Naim also approved immediate assistance of RM20,000 to help implement the educational programmes and activities planned by the ma'ahad.
'It is hoped that this contribution will strengthen the role of Ma'ahad An-Noer in educating the younger generation in religious knowledge, fostering appreciation of the Quran, and developing leadership based on Islamic values.
