Shuvosangho gifts Holy Qurans to madrasa students in Gopalganj

Bashundhara Shuvosangho has distributed copies of the Holy Quran among madrasa students in Gopalganj to encourage religious education and promote moral and humanitarian values among children.

The initiative, organised by the Gopalganj district unit of the organisation, saw eight students of Darul Ulum Islamia Madrasa in Char Manikdah village under Latifpur Union of Gopalganj Sadar Upazila receive copies of the Holy Quran on Thursday.

The programme began with a Quran recitation, followed by a discussion on the importance of religious and moral education and the role of the Quran in shaping children's character.

Madrasa Imam Hafiz Hafizur Rahman, speaking as the chief guest, said children should receive religious and moral education alongside modern education. The teachings of the Quran could play an effective role in building an enlightened society free from crime, he added.

Shuvosangho Gopalganj district unit President Sujan Das said they were delighted to distribute the holy books among the children and hoped the initiative would inspire them to read the Quran more regularly. He also expressed gratitude to Bashundhara Group for supporting the initiative.

General Secretary Turya Biswas said Bashundhara Shuvosangho had been carrying out various humanitarian and welfare activities at the grassroots level, creating opportunities for children to pursue religious education.

Student Md Zubayer Hossain expressed joy at receiving a new copy of the Quran, saying the newly established madrasa had only one old copy. He said he would pray for everyone after the Isha prayer.

The eight recipients were Amir Hamza, Saiful Alam, Sumon Mahmud, Nazim Uddin, Niamul Hasan, Zubayer Hossain, Rashedul Islam and Nur Nabi Hawlader. Five of them study in the Qirat section and three in the Hifz section.

Among others, Shuvosangho district unit General Secretary Turya Biswas, Joint General Secretaries Tipu Biswas and Ashraful Alam Nazim, Organising Secretary Ayan Saha and Office Secretary Simanta Pal attended the programme, along with madrasa teachers, students and guardians.
