He also said the big theme of the conference was ‘The Roles of Huffazh (Koran memorizers) in the Society”. Rahman assumed the theme is used to emphasize the positions of the Huffazh among the people. “The theme will be able to map the extent of the Huffazh’s roles in contributing to the society, especially in social development”.
The four-day conference will be filled with various activities such as seminars, workshops, focus group discussions and visits to several Koran learning centers in Indonesia. “The conference is expected to produce constructive ideas for the development of global communities and recommendations for the participating countries,” Rahman said.
