6 March 2026 - The Al-Quran Recitation Program continues with the active participation of students from the Computer Technology (Networking) course. This program aims to cultivate the habit of reciting the Quran and increase understanding of its message among students, while strengthening their bond with the holy book of Islam.
The program began with a joint Quran recitation session, where students had the opportunity to improve their recitation and appreciate the meaning of the verses. This was followed by a tadabbur session to understand the lessons contained in Surah Al-Baqarah verses 70-88.
Some of the main lessons shared include:
- The story of the Cow and the Murder Case of the Jews, where they made things difficult for themselves by asking trivial questions about the characteristics of the cow commanded by Allah to be slaughtered to solve the murder case. The incident of the dead body being struck by part of the cow and coming back to life is a clear proof of Allah's power to revive the dead.
- The Extreme Hardness of Heart, where despite witnessing various miracles and signs of Allah's greatness, their hearts remained hard and stubborn, even harder than stone, making it difficult for them to receive guidance.
- The Distortion of the Book and Arrogance, where some Jewish scholars distorted the contents of the Taurat to gain worldly benefits. They were also arrogant, claiming that the fire of hell would only touch them for a few days.
- Violating Allah's Covenant, where the Jews betrayed their covenant with Allah by killing each other and expelling their own people from their homeland. They were also hypocritical, believing in part of the book and rejecting other teachings.
- Killing Prophets and Rejecting Truth, where their arrogance led them to deny and even kill some of the prophets sent to them. They also rejected the prophethood of Muhammad SAW due to jealousy, as he was not from their nation.
May this program enable students to learn from the stories in the Quran and make it a guide in their daily lives.
"The Quran is not just to be recited, but understood and practised.
