Nazrin: Study new methods to teach the Quran

A more dynamic format comprising analysis, strategy, science, philosophy, genealogy is needed, says Perak Sultan.

IPOH: The Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah ordered the Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) today to study the findings of the survey on the effectiveness of the Quran and Fardu Ain Class (Kafa).

Sultan Nazrin said this was vital in order to formulate new methods for the teaching and learning of Quran, which should also focus on the aspects of understanding and observation.

“MAIPk should also set up a working group to formulate a more dynamic format for the teaching and learning of Quran, comprising components of analysis, strategy, science, philosophy, genealogy and background concerning the reception of certain revelations.

“The membership of this working group must represent various constituents, so that a more comprehensive and relevant method for the teaching and learning of the Quran can be formulated,” he said.

The survey on Kafa’s effectiveness was being done by the Perak Islamic Religious Department with the cooperation from the Sultan Azlan Shah Islamic University College.

Sultan Nazrin said this at the ceremony to present the Letters of Appointment for the MAIPk president and members, to accept business tithe from eight agencies and to witness the signing of a joint-venture agreement for property development between MAIPk and UDA Waqf Sdn Bhd, here today.
