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 K. Dhiffushi School on 17 May 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 confidence in reading the Quran accurately.

The session also promoted important values including self-discipline, respect, ethical conduct, social responsibility, and lifelong learning. Students were encouraged to develop positive learning habits and apply the knowledge and values gained through the session to their personal and educational development.

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

The programme also aligns with SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions by promoting ethical values, respect, social responsibility, self-discipline, and peaceful coexistence through values-based religious education. These principles encourage students to develop responsible attitudes and contribute positively to their school and wider community.

Furthermore, the initiative supports SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities by providing students with access to educational and personal development opportunities, supporting equitable participation in learning.

The session also contributes to SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals through engagement between higher education and school communities, facilitating knowledge sharing and educational collaboration.

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