The 2026 Hasanuddin University Student Qur’an Recitation Competition (MTQM) officially closed on Friday afternoon (6 March) at the Arsjad Rasjid Lecture Theatre. The closing ceremony was attended by Hasanuddin University Director of Student Affairs Abdullah Sanusi, Ph.D., and Vice Deans for Academic and Student Affairs from various faculties across Unhas.
The two-day MTQM ran smoothly, with students from all faculties taking part. The various competition categories gave students a platform to channel their talents and abilities in Qur’anic fields, from recitation (tilawah), measured recitation (tartil), and memorization to comprehension and other Islamic arts.
Unhas Director of Student Affairs Abdullah Sanusi expressed appreciation for students’ active participation in the event. Sanusi also congratulated the winners and offered encouragement to participants who did not place.
“Alhamdulillah, every faculty sent a delegation and took part in this year’s MTQM. It went well. Congratulations to the winners, and for those who did not succeed, this is a platform to keep striving and practicing so you can achieve better results in the future,” Sanusi said.
Sanusi also explained that the MTQM is not only a competition but also part of students’ character building based on Qur’anic values. Sanusi added that student participation in activities like this can also be converted into semester credit units (SKS) in competency development courses (MKPK).
“I also had the chance to watch several of the competitions and see the participants’ enthusiasm firsthand. I hope this will encourage students to keep improving their achievements,” Sanusi added.
On this occasion, Abdullah Sanusi also announced the establishment of a Qur’anic Arts Development Student Activity Unit (UKM) as a platform for nurturing students with interest and talent in recitation, memorization, and other branches of Qur’anic arts. Sanusi hopes the unit’s membership will eventually be spread evenly across the various faculties at Unhas.
