KUCHING, Mar 31: Sarawak is actively strengthening efforts to expand understanding of the Quran among its multi-ethnic communities through initiatives to translate it into local indigenous languages and to make it accessible to persons with disabilities.

In a TVS news report, the president of the Sarawak Islamic Council (MIS), Datuk Misnu Taha, said the effort is important to ensure that people of various backgrounds in the State better understand the meanings and teachings of the Quran.

“To date, we have translated the Quran into Iban, Bidayuh, and Melanau, as well as several other languages.

“This effort will continue and will not stop there,” he said during a press conference held in conjunction with a courtesy visit by the Sarawak delegation to the National Quran Recitation and Memorisation Assembly (Majlis Tilawah dan Hafazan Al-Quran Kebangsaan) on Monday (Mar 30).

At the same time, he added that the Darul Hana Al-Quran Centre is also actively developing facilities for persons with disabilities, including providing the Quran in braille for the visually-impaired, as well as special programmes for the hearing-impaired community.

He expressed hope that these continuous efforts will help produce a society that is not only able to read but also understand the contents of the Quran more deeply. — DayakDaily
