Haflah Muslimah

With the spirit of Ramadhan some muslimah were gathered in Depok last Sunday, October 8 2006 (15 Ramadhan 1427H), for joining an event called Haflah Muslimah. As you see from the name, Haflah Muslimah, the event were especially held for muslimah. So all woman whose believe in Islam were welcome to the event. Haflah Muslimah is actually an event where muslimah can express their talent in a way that is allowed by Islam.

There were several competition which were held, such as MHQ, hadeeth (with translation) recitation, Qur'an translation poetical reading, Islamic quiz for group, Islamic card creation, and nasheed. MHQ is short for Musabaqoh Hafiz Qur'an where the contestant were asked to recite some surah taken from the last chapter (chapter 30) of the holy Qur'an. In hadith recitation competition, the contestant were asked to recire a hadith which was taken from hadith Nabawi book, both the arabic and the translation. The contestant who join Qur'an translation poetical reading were asked to read the translation of Qur'an in a way which can express the meaning of the ayat in the Qur'an. Islamic quiz game can be joined by a group of contestant which then have to answer several questions asked by the jury woman. Or if you were creative enough in transposing used things into an attractive card then you can join Islamic card creation. And last but not least, if you have a group of people who have talent in composing a nasheed and singing it then the nasheed competition is definitely the right one for you.

My Islamic study group and i were joining several competition. My sister whose name is Ratih were joined MHQ. She is hafiz from surah An-Naba to surah Al-Buruj. But unfortunately she didn't win. My two friend from our group whose name is Ayu and Pris Elmiasih joined Qur'an translation poetical reading competition. Pris loose but Ayu won the third place in that competition. My other friends whose name is Siti Maharani joined hadith recitation competition but did not win. And last but not least, my group of 5 people (including me ya) were joined a nasheed competition. Alhamdulillah we got the first place... yes... we won the nasheed competition. :-)

Please read my next post (inshALLAH) for the detail of my group journey in joining the nasheed competition. So stay tuned here!
