Sinarmas Endows 1,000 Qurans During Ramadan to Support Education
Sinarmas has endowed 1,000 copies of the Quran to PP Muhammadiyah. The endowment is made to support the efforts of the Muslim community to educate themselves towards becoming pious individuals during Ramadan.
“Ramadan is a valuable opportunity for us to educate ourselves by strengthening our piety through Quran recitation and fasting. We hope that the Quran endowment we are making can bridge our intention to explore the meaning contained within it, and then to practise it,” said Saleh Husin, Chairman of the Muslim Sinar Mas Foundation (YMSM), in a statement on Saturday (1 March 2026).
The presentation of the Qurans was carried out alongside APP Group Director Agus Wahyudi and was presented symbolically by YMSM Board member Mayerfas to the General Secretary of PP Muhammadiyah, who is also Indonesia’s Minister of Basic and Secondary Education, Prof Abdul Mu’ti in Central Jakarta.
Meanwhile, Mayerfas expressed hope that this endowment initiative could strengthen each individual’s personal interaction with the Quran.
“So that activities of Quran recitation, interpreting its contents, and then applying it in daily life will occur holistically,” he said.
All the Quran manuscripts that were endowed, with the support of PP Muhammadiyah, will be forwarded to various places of worship, educational institutions, and Islamic study circles. On Tuesday (24 February), the foundation also endowed more than 1,000 Quran manuscripts to PP Muhammadiyah during a gathering held at Muhammadiyah University Tangerang (UMT) in Banten.
Saleh, together with APP Group Director Agus Wahyudi, presented them to the Treasurer General of PP Muhammadiyah, Hilman Latief, which was also witnessed by the Chairman of PP Muhammadiyah, Haedar Nashir, together with other senior leaders and thousands of PP Muhammadiyah study group participants.
To date, with the support of APP Group, 1.4 million Quran manuscripts have been distributed since 2008 to various remote areas of the country. This activity not only involves the government, the armed forces and the national police, but also works alongside religious institutions, civil society organisations, educational institutions, community leaders, and professional communities.
The existence of YMSM is to accommodate Islamic practice that is open, tolerant, equal, and full of compassion within the Sinar Mas group. Making it as an energy to increase piety as well as work productivity. Meanwhile, outwardly, the foundation encourages fellowship and synergy with various individuals and institutions through various social and educational activities.
