Senior Lecturer Qari Mohamed Riyaz conducted an information session titled “How Can We Learn the Knowledge of the Quran? What Are the Common Mistakes That Contradict Tajweed in Reciting the Holy Quran?” for students of B. Dhonfanu School on 15 February 2025.

The session aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of the Holy Quran by introducing effective approaches to learning its teachings and improving their recitation through the correct application of Tajweed. Students were guided in identifying common recitation errors, improving pronunciation and articulation, and developing greater confidence in reading the Quran accurately.

The session also highlighted the importance of ethical values, self-discipline, respect, responsibility, and lifelong learning. By combining Quranic knowledge with practical guidance on correct recitation, the programme encouraged students to develop positive learning habits and a deeper commitment to continuous personal and educational development.

The initiative contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): Quality Education by providing students with meaningful learning opportunities that strengthen their knowledge, literacy, and lifelong learning skills. The session supported students in developing their Quranic reading abilities through structured and purposeful learning.

It also supports SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities by providing access to educational and personal development opportunities for students within the school community, promoting equitable opportunities for learning and skills development.

Furthermore, the initiative aligns with SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions by promoting ethical values, respect, self-discipline, social responsibility, and peaceful coexistence through values-based religious education.

The session also contributes to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals by strengthening engagement between higher education and school communities and facilitating the sharing of knowledge and expertise to support students’ educational and personal development.

Through this initiative, Qari Mohamed Riyaz contributed to Quranic literacy, accurate Tajweed recitation, ethical development, and lifelong learning, supporting quality and inclusive education while contributing to the broader Sustainable Development Goals.
