Present as a resource person, Ustadz Dr. Ahmad Mujahid, M.Ag. In his material, he conveys several main contents contained in Surah Al-Qadar, one of which is that the night of Al-Qadar is the time chosen by Allah as the time when the Qur’an was revealed and the night when the angels were sent down with Allah’s permission to take care of all matters.
“The true meaning of interaction with the Qur’an is to be aware of Allah’s presence when interacting with the Qur’an, when a servant reads, hears, memorizes, memorizes and recites the verses of the Qur’an, the servant actually realizes that Allah is present speaking to him,” explained Ustadz Ahmad.
The activity went smoothly and ended with breaking the fast and Maghrib prayer in congregation.
