Shah Alam, 27 February 2026 – Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR), in collaboration with Akademi Pengajian Islam Kontemporari (ACIS), successfully organised the Program Talaqqi Kerohanian – Series 2, a spiritually enriching initiative centred on Qur’anic studies and the foundational principles of tarannum (melodic recitation).
- Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak (PTAR) and Akademi Pengajian Islam Kontemporari (ACIS) held Program Talaqqi Kerohanian Series 2 on Qur’anic studies and tarannum.
- The programme reinforced UiTM’s commitment to holistic education.
- It aims to nurture intellectually and spiritually balanced individuals.
Held at the Study Lounge of PTAR UiTM Shah Alam at 9:30 a.m., the programme gathered participants in an atmosphere of reverence and scholarly engagement. The session was also broadcast live via YouTube and Facebook channels of the UiTM Library, enabling wider participation from the university community and beyond.
The programme featured Associate Professor Dr Mohd Asmadi bin Yakob, Head of the Centre of Studies (Education) at ACIS, as the invited speaker. In his lecture, he guided participants through an introduction to the Qur’an as the primary source of divine revelation, while also elaborating on the discipline of tarannum as both an art form and a structured body of knowledge that enhances recitation and deepens spiritual reflection.
Also in attendance were YBrs. Tuan Ts. Haji Azizi bin Haji Jantan, Chief Librarian of UiTM, and YBrs. Prof. Dr. S. Salahudin Suyurno, Dean of ACIS. Their presence underscored UiTM’s sustained commitment to fostering a balanced culture of knowledge—one that integrates academic excellence with spiritual development.
The Talaqqi programme extends beyond a conventional Qur’anic reading session. It serves as a platform for nurturing individuals who are knowledgeable, ethical, and morally grounded, in alignment with UiTM’s aspiration to cultivate holistic education. The Qur’an, as a source of revelation, not only guides spiritual life but also forms the foundation of civilisation, leadership, integrity, and worldly excellence.
This initiative reflects PTAR’s role as a Vibrant Centre of Learning—a library that transcends its traditional function as a repository of books and data to become a hub for intellectual empowerment and spiritual enrichment. Within a space long associated with scholarship and research, the resonant recitation of sacred verses now further harmonises revealed knowledge with academic pursuit in a unified educational ecosystem.
It is hoped that such efforts will contribute to the development of a generation of ulul albab—individuals who excel academically, remain steadfast in faith, and embody exemplary character.
