National Quran Assembly in Terengganu Strengthens Islamic Heritage Under Theme 'The Word of God, A Legacy Inherited'

The Majlis Tilawah dan Hafazan al-Quran Peringkat Kebangsaan (MTHQK) continues to be a vital platform for nurturing Islamic values and deepening the community's connection with the Holy Quran. This year's national assembly, hosted by the state of Terengganu from April 13 to 18, 2026, at the Gong Badak Indoor Stadium, carries the resonant theme 'Kalam Ilahi, Tradisi Diwarisi'—The Word of God, A Legacy Inherited.

Utusan Malaysia views this event as a crucial continuation of efforts to uphold and celebrate the rich heritage of the Quran. In Malaysia, and particularly in states like Terengganu with strong Islamic traditions, the Quran is not merely a religious text but a living guide and a source of cultural identity. The MTHQK serves to reinforce this, bringing together individuals from across the nation to showcase their mastery of Quranic recitation and memorization.

This assembly is more than a competition; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Quran and its central place in the lives of Malaysian Muslims. It fosters a sense of pride in Islamic scholarship and encourages younger generations to engage deeply with the divine message, ensuring that this sacred tradition is passed down faithfully. The event's success is a reflection of Malaysia's commitment to preserving its Islamic heritage.
