President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has urged all citizens to align their actions with and adhere to the teachings of the Holy Quran.
Speaking at the Huffaz Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday evening at the Islamic Centre, he emphasised the Quran’s role as a practical “guide book” rather than a text recited solely at official events.
He stressed that restoring human dignity, which is currently eroding in society, requires integrating Quranic teachings into daily life. The President urged people to avoid actions forbidden in the Quran, including defamation, division, and spreading falsehoods.
Highlighting the importance of mutual respect for societal progress, he underscored Islam’s emphasis on faith and protecting fellow Muslims from harm—whether through actions or words. He asserted that society would improve if individuals treated others with the same respect and dignity they expect for themselves.
The President also reiterated that development is hollow unless grounded in faith and aligned with Quranic principles.
During the ceremony, President Dr Muizzu affirmed that the Administration’s primary aim, policy, and overarching goal is to increase the number of children in the country graduating as Huffaz, through the unified efforts of parents and teachers.
In his speech, the President highlighted the Administration’s ongoing initiatives to promote the teaching of the Holy Quran. In this regard, he announced that the government is working towards the construction of a waqf building dedicated to Quranic education, a key initiative that will complement other similar efforts.
He further stated that the land for the building has already been designated, and that letters to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs regarding the matter will be dispatched once government offices reopen after the Eid al-Fitr holidays.
President Dr Muizzu also emphasised the significant benefits a waqf building would bring to the nation. He underscored that the expenditure on such a project is essential, as it will serve as a valuable investment in the intellectual and spiritual development of the country.
The President also highlighted the ongoing efforts in this field and commended the Huffaz for their dedication and perseverance in reaching this significant milestone, congratulating them on their outstanding achievement.
