“Hopefully, this activity can continue in the following years. Furthermore, the most important thing is that assisted citizens and prison officers can learn lessons from activities like this. At least there is an increase in faith, holiness, and knowledge related to creed,” he said.
This activity coincided with the Qur’an revelation day (Nuzulul) Qur’an in the multipurpose room and ended on Saturday (8/4/2023). The peak of this short Islamic training program (pesantren) activity was the final round, the division of competitions, and the preach (tausiyah) delivered by KH. Tb.
