Mengaji in Kampung Kuala Sentul, Maran

Mengaji, what it means?

All Muslims have a copy of the Quran at home. How the Quran is utilized is an entirely different story. More often than not, it occupies the top rack of our bookshelf, collecting dust.

The Quran is the words of Allah. 

When Prophet Muhammad introduced the Quran to his disciples, they recited the Quran and pondered its meaning and were moved by it. 

The importance of mengaji lay in fundamentally in :-

1. Obtain knowledge and guidance from Allah, our Creator. 
2. Apply that knowledge. 
3. Fulfillment of spiritual needs. 
4. Communicate with Allah. 
5. Garner blessing from Allah.

Usually one starts Mengaji when attending religious school or other forms of schooling during their childhood. However, upon attaining adulthood they are left aloof, so to speak.
 
Hence, it was with great interest and pride when I came across this "hut" specially built by hand for the sole purpose of Mangaji.

Located at Kampung Kuala Sentul


The person who manages the Mengaji place occupies this family home


This amazing place for Mangaji is almost fully built by hand except for the window panelings and some minor things which were required to be specifically ordered from the shop





The wood, I understand is all sourced from the surrounding forest










Every care was taken to be articulate, as can viewed in the switch holder


Vinyl flooring, covering the wooden floor


What lays inside
