UNS — An amazing achievement was again made by a student of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta. This time a student from the Master in Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program UNS succeeded in winning 1st place in the 29th General Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) Competition at the Cilacap Regency level. This event is organized by Cilacap Regency Public Welfare (Kesra) Office. The student who accomplished this glorious achievement was Detria Nur Aini Sutrisno. She admitted that she did not expect to win this prestigious event. “Thank God, I don’t expect to be still given the opportunity and given the trust of representing Cilacap to compete at the provincial level that, inshallah, will be held in May, but the venue has not been announced yet,” Detria said when she was contacted by the uns.ac.id team on Monday (9/5/2022).
This MTQ competition was held in Cilacap Regency Pendopo. Participants in this competition were representatives of sub-districts in the Cilacap Regency. There are eight competition categories, namely children’s tilawah (t/n: recitation of the Qur’an), teenage tilawah, adult tilawah, 1 juz tahfidz (t/n: person who memorize the Qur’an) and tilawah, 5 juz tahfidz and tilawah, 10 juz tahfidz, 20 juz tahfidz, and 30 juz tahfidz.
Preparing for the competition, Detria was supervised by H. Zaenal Arifin, S.Sos., as her Qur’an recitation teacher at home. Detria admitted that, when participating in the event, she wanted to gain more experience and knowledge. “This event continues all the way to the provincial level, even nationally. I want to gain more experience and knowledge, meet new friends, and get together with people from Cilacap, which is the largest district in Central Java. So, expanding my network and reuniting with many friends, because I met many friends who used to met-up at the provincial level,” explained Detria.
Detria admitted that, in achieving this achievement, she only had two days of preparation training. At the end of the interview, Detria expressed her hope to contribute to Cilacap Regency’s achievement at the provincial level.
“Hopefully, this can promote Cilacap honor at the provincial level, obtaining the expected results, effortless event participation, health, and blessings. Also, I wish to be more enthusiastic and motivated to be more diligent, and more Istiqomah (to act rightly, allowing no deviation),” she said. Humas UNS
