Offer free tuitions in Quran recital to attract youngsters to go mosques

All management of mosques in Perlis are asked to conduct more activities that can bring the public, especially the youth closer to the institution.

Perlis Islamic Department director, Dr Hazman Hassan said besides the mosque as a place for the Muslims to worship, it should also be used as a place to strengthen the unity of the local community.

"To encourage young people, the mosque management should be more creative in conducting activities that can attract them," he said when officiating the Masjid Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail general meeting here today.

As an example, he said mosques could organise free tuitions in Quran recital for the youngsters and invite them to perform prayers together.

He also praised the Masjid Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail for establishing their own cooperative to enable the community to venture into business.
