Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar has announced that the 31st National Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) scheduled for 2026 will serve as a cross-religious public celebration. The event, which focuses on the recitation and study of the Quran, is being positioned as an inclusive festival for the broader Indonesian population.
By framing the MTQ as a 'people's party' that transcends religious boundaries, the Ministry aims to emphasize national unity and social cohesion. This approach highlights the government's intent to utilize the traditional Islamic competition as a platform for fostering interfaith harmony and collective participation across the country.
