Ngaji Soccer MAS: Hundreds of Santri Mix Sports, Quran Khataman, and Character Building

More than 100 santri from various backgrounds joined the Ngaji Soccer II program at the Mini Soccer Field of Al-Akbar National Mosque Surabaya (MAS) on Sunday (31/5). This activity blends soccer with Quran khataman, short sermons, and character development. H. Helmy M. Noor, secretary of the MAS Management Board, explained that the second phase of the program runs three to four months, every Tuesday night. Each session kicks off with Quran khataman, recitation of Asmaul Husna, a brief talk by an ustaz, followed by warm-ups and a soccer match. Helmy stressed that Ngaji Soccer aims to build collaboration, strengthen bonds, and reinforce religious values among the youth. The program also opens doors for friendly matches with other communities. Participant Saladin was happy to get back into sports while expanding his social circle. He feels the program nurtures both physical and spiritual health, in line with the tagline "Healthy, Virtuous, and Happy." https://kabarbaik.co/ngaji-soccer-mas-tak-cuma-main-bola-ratusan-santri-diajak-bangun-ukhuwah-dan-karakter/
