BOGOR, WEST JAVA — To realize the Qur’ani generation, SMART Ekselensia Indonesia Dompet Dhuafa held a khataman or Khotmil Qur’an activity as a form of appreciation for SMART Ekselensia Indonesia students who have finished reading the Qur’an 30 Juz. The Khotmil Qur’an event was held at Al-Insan Mosque, Bogor, West Java, on Friday (1/9/2023). In addition to khataman, there is a Parenting Study with Ustaz Asep Rogia, S.Pd.I, one of the Indonesian SMART Ekselensia Teachers.
At the Khotmil Qur’an event, which was also attended by the parents of these students, two SMART students, namely Abdul Ghoni and Muslih Fadilah Syamil, officially completed the memorization of 30 juz of the Qur’an. Both are grade 5 SMART students or equivalent to grade XI high school from Palembang and Bogor. In just a few months, they achieved the feat of becoming hafiz of the Qur’an.
Basically, SMART Ekselensia Indonesia views the Qur’an as part of the educational process and is committed to continuing to produce superior Qur’anic generations in the future. SMART Ekselensia Indonesia is a school that combines Islamic, modern, and Indonesian approaches. The Khotmil Qur’an is one of the achievements in integrating these approaches.
