Bandar seri begawan: In the month of Ramadhan, students from the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Tahfiz Al-Qur'an Institute are placed in several mosques to become imams of Sunnat Tarawih Prayers. This measure serves as an initial exposure for them to always preserve their memory and build self-confidence as imam or prayer leader.
According to Radio Television Brunei, this year, 91 students from Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Tahfiz Al-Qur'an Institute have been assigned to lead sunnat tarawih prayers at 77 mosques, suraus, and religious halls nationwide. It is hoped that the involvement of these students will build self-confidence as prayer leaders.
There are certainly challenges when assigned to be the prayer leader of the Sunnat Tarawih Prayer. However, for the students, it does not discourage them, and is even able to educate them to become better.
The placement of the students as prayer leaders for the Sunnat Tarawih prayers also received a positive response. Mosque congregants expressed their admiration for the quality of the recitations.
By appointing prayer leaders for Sunnat Tarawih from among the students of the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Tahfiz Al-Qur'an Institute, it is also possible to provide significant added value to their personal and career development in the future.
