The Aceh Besar district government dispatched 22 people to perform umrah as a token of appreciation for the champions of the Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) and Musabaqah Qiraatil Kutub (MKQ) at the Aceh provincial level. The send-off was done by Aceh Besar Regent H. Muharram Idris and Vice Regent H. Syukri A Jalil at the Dekranasda building in Aceh Besar on Saturday (6/27/2026), after a peusijuek ceremony led by the Imuem Chiek of the Al-Munawwarah Grand Mosque.
The group consists of 16 MTQ champions from Pidie Jaya, 2 MKQ champions from Banda Aceh, 3 assistants, and 1 guide. They are scheduled to depart for the Holy Land on Monday, June 29, 2026.
Regent Muharram Idris stated that this is the Aceh Besar government's commitment to appreciating the Qur'anic generation who have brought honor to the region. He also reminded the pilgrims to make the most of this opportunity to worship as best as possible and to maintain health, solidarity, and comply with regulations while in Saudi Arabia, considering that the repatriation of hajj pilgrims is still ongoing.
