Malawi Muslims Urged to Live Quran
Celebrating the best memorizers of the Noble Quran, Muslim leaders in Malawi have urged their community to preserve and instill the Quranic teachings in the soul of their children to help boost the development of their country.
“Malawi would have been a better place to live should Malawians recognize and adhere to the teachings of the Holy Quran,” Ibrahim Milanzi, director of Al-Baraka Charity Trust, told Nyasa Times on Monday, June 24.
Speaking at a celebration for winners of the Quran Recitation Competition at Iqra Propagation Center, Milanzi regretted that Islamic development was below standard in the African country.
He urged Muslim parents to encourage their children to memorize the noble Quran and live according to its teachings.
General Secretary for Muslim Association Malawi Dr Salmin Omar Idruss, described the competition as unique.
He also commended those memorizing the Quran as ‘the living Qurans’, asking them to stay away from evil deeds to avoid tarnishing the image of the holy book.
Islam is the second largest religion in the southern African country after Christianity.
Official statistics suggest Muslims constitute 12 percent of Malawi’s 14 million people, but the umbrella Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) puts the rate at 36.
Since the late 1990s, there has been a proliferation of international Muslim organizations working in the education sector in Malawi, which have constructed many schools for girls only.
