Propagating the Quran for Children, Rumah Bocil Pojok Nusantara Organises Ramadan Festivities
Tangerang — The drive to foster love for the Quran from an early age continues through religious education activities in the community. One example is the initiative by Rumah Bocil Pojok Nusantara, which is organising Semarak Ramadan 1447 H, featuring a Quran memorisation competition for Juz 30, an Islami quiz, a colouring competition, donations to orphans, and assistance for ride-hailing drivers (ojol) and couriers, as well as a Ramadan Bazaar.
The event will be held over a week, from Sunday, 8 March 2026 to Saturday, 14 March 2026, involving children from pre-school to primary school, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI), TPQ students, and members of the surrounding community. It also marks the 33rd anniversary of the City of Tangerang.
The event’s organiser, Ustadzah Ernawati, explained that the activities aim to nurture a love for the Quran in children and build religious character from an early age through educational and enjoyable activities.
“TPQ is the first place for many children to learn about the Quran. From this simple place, children learn to read, memorise, and understand moral values and togetherness,” said Ustadzah Ernawati in Kenanga, Cipondoh, Tangerang, on Sunday, 8 March 2026.
The Ramadan activities include several Islam-themed competitions, such as a Quran memorisation contest for Juz 30, the azan (call to prayer) competition, an Islami quiz, and a colouring competition. The activities are expected to boost children’s self-confidence and creativity.
In addition to the competitions, Rumah Bocil Pojok Nusantara also provides charity assistance to orphans, ride-hailing drivers (ojol) and couriers as a social effort to ease the burden on those in need.
A Ramadan Bazaar is also organised, involving parents of students and local residents. The bazaar is expected to create a space for togetherness and support for Quranic education activities within TPQ.
According to Ustadzah Ernawati, such activities carry a broader meaning than merely a competition or ceremonial event. Through TPQ, children are not only taught to read the Quran but also guided to develop good morals, discipline, and concern for others.
“TPQ produces a generation that understands the values of faith and humanity from an early age. Therefore community support is essential for the continuation of Quranic education activities,” she said.
The committee hopes Ramadan will provide space for collaboration between the community, educational institutions, donors, and the government to reinforce the propagation of the Quran through TPQ.
“Ramadan is the best time to share and cultivate good deeds. We hope more people will support Quranic education for children,” Ustadzah Ernawati concluded.
