Parents and guardians have been urged to actively guide their children in religious education, especially in learning and reciting the Holy Qur’an.
Hon. Aley Masoud Aley, Member of Parliament for Mtambile, made the call while addressing students, parents, and guardians during the Qur’an recitation competitions held in Ziwani Constituency.
Speaking as the guest of honor, Aley stressed that parents and guardians have a duty to raise children with strong moral and religious values.
“Children must grow up with respect for God and love for their faith. Everyone should remember the purpose of life and allow religious teachings to guide their daily lives,” he said.
He cited the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was instructed to read upon receiving divine revelation, highlighting the importance of education, especially religious education.
Hon. Mohamed Ali Salim, MP for Ziwani Constituency, reaffirmed his commitment to holding annual Qur’an competitions to encourage youth participation and interest in religious learning.
He said the events not only promote healthy competition but also help build confidence in young people to recite the Qur’an publicly and understand its teachings in depth.
Hon. Ali Salim added that he will continue working with religious education stakeholders and the community to provide supportive learning environments, including strengthening madrasa centers across the constituency.
He emphasized that learning and reciting the Qur’an brings blessings not only to individuals but also to families and the nation, fostering moral values, social cohesion, and God-consciousness.
