Wish You Success, IPB’s Contingent for the National MTQ (Beautiful Recital of the Holy Qur’an Competition)

IPB Rector released the contingent for the National MTQ competition held from 23 to 25 June 2013 in the State University of Padang. A total of 27 students departed, following the competition. The release was held in the Meeting Room of Rector, Darmaga Campus of IPB, (21/6).

 

Director of Student Affairs, Dr. Rimbawan, says that the 27 participants representing IPB are the selected participants who have received special training and in general they have been able to memorize five chapters. Last year participants from IPB generally were to memorize one to two chapters, and now this has increased. "The capacity of IPB’s students IPB is extraordinary," said Dr. Rimbawan.

 

Meanwhile, Ustad. Hamzah, of DKM Al Hurriyah, said he hopes next year MTQ (Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran) can be held in IPB. "IPB could be the host for the national level," he said.

 

Rector of IPB, Prof. Dr. Ir. Herry Suhardiyanto in his speech congratulated the preparation that has been made. He also advised to always maintain capacity and good deeds. Many people have long made a pun of IPB as “Institut Pesanten Bogor” (Islamic Boarding School). “We must always maintain religious and cultural atmosphere of this achievement," he said. Further he suggested that in this competition we not only carry out the annual activity. "Achievement is a call that must be reached. It is also part of the religious commandments to do everything totally. Currently, students have entered into da’wah (preaching) activities. Please do totally”, he said. In relation the idea of IPB becoming the host for the next year’s MTQ, Rector responded positively and asked to prepare any official requirements. (Mtd)
