5th April 2024 – The tradition of Tadarus Al-Quran, a revered form of worship during the sacred month of Ramadan among Muslims, holds deep significance. In light of this, Jerudong Park Medical Centre (JPMC) organized a Khatam Al-Quran ceremony to mark the completion of the recitation of Al-Quran held at Al-Ameerah Al-Hajjah Maryam Mosque, Kampung Jerudong on Friday, 5th April 2024.
The event began with the recital of Surah Al-Fatihah led by Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohd Isham bin Haji Jaafar, Minister of Health, in his capacity as Chairman and Executive Director of JPMC, continued with a mass recital of Surah Lazim, Takhtim, Tahlil and Doa. Closing the Khatam with Zikir Marhaban and Doa Peliharakan Sultan dan Negara Brunei Darussalam. Also in attendance were members of the Board, senior management, staff, head of the Kampung Jerudong village and members of Takhmir Masjid Al-Ameerah Al-Hajjah Maryam.
The ceremony was made even more meaningful with the generous gesture of providing donations to 37 orphans residing in Kampung Jerudong. These contributions, comprising of both cash and daily essentials, were graciously provided by JPMC and its staff. It is hoped that these donations will greatly enhance their preparations for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri festivities. The event concluded with guests gathering to break their fast and perform mass Maghrib prayer together.
The annual Al-Quran recitation activity during Ramadan serves a pivotal purpose: fostering a profound and enduring bond between JPMC staff and their engagement with the teachings of the Al-Quran.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that all religious deeds, particularly those performed during the final 10 days of Ramadan, will be rewarded abundantly.
