The Women’s Education Unit of Masjid Assalam held another collective Qur’an completion gathering on Saturday, 24 October 2026, at Masjid Assalam WIKA, Balikpapan. Around 100 mosque organizers attended the event, which ran from 08:00 to 11:00 WITA (Central Indonesia Time).
The Qur’an completion gathering is held every three months. It invites the organizers to complete the Qur’an together and encourages them to remain steadfast in reading and studying the words of Allah.
The event began with an opening session and remarks from the mosque’s Executive Chairman, H. Muhammad Dheny. Participants were encouraged to strengthen their relationship with the Qur’an and their fellowship as they fulfil their responsibilities in serving the mosque.
Reading the Qur’an in Groups
Participants were divided into groups, each assigned a juz, or section of the Qur’an. Each group then divided its reading among members by page. This arrangement enabled everyone to contribute to completing the Qur’an together.
The gathering proceeded in an orderly and reverent atmosphere. Participants read their assigned portions before the completion session concluded with a collective prayer.
Encouragement to Remain Steadfast with the Qur’an
The gathering also featured a religious talk by Ustaz Abdul Malik, S.Psi., S.Pd., M.M. He encouraged participants to read the Qur’an consistently, both at collective completion gatherings and in everyday life.
Ustaz Abdul Malik also shared several moving stories from participants. These stories offered a reminder that everyone has their own journey and experiences in developing a close relationship with the Qur’an.
The program continued with prayers and an informal gathering. The fellowship fostered through the event is expected to strengthen relationships among the organizers and inspire them to bring Qur’anic values into their service to worshippers.
Through this regular program, the Women’s Education Unit provides a space for mosque organizers to read, complete, and learn from the Qur’an together. It also reflects Masjid Assalam’s commitment to developing organizers with a strong spiritual foundation who can set a positive example for the congregation.
