In welcoming and filling the blessed month of Ramadan 1447H with meaningful activities, Al Siddiq International School has organised a special programme for teachers entitled the Al Siddiq Teachers’ Ramadan Programme. The activities are held daily from 23 February to 11 March 2026, from 1.00 p.m. to 2.00 p.m. (WIB), at Masjid Al Siddiq.
This programme is designed as a platform for strengthening the spiritual well-being (ruhiyah) of educators, ensuring that Ramadan becomes not only a time for personal worship, but also an opportunity to enhance their character and commitment as teachers and role models for students.
Ramadan Tausiyah: Refreshing the Heart and Mind
One of the main highlights of the programme is the Ramadan Tausiyah delivered by Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd. In his reflections, he addresses themes such as the virtues of Ramadan, sincerity in good deeds, and the role of teachers as educators who not only impart knowledge but also instil values and noble character.
Through these sessions, teachers are encouraged to view Ramadan as a school of self-improvement and a means of strengthening their dedication to nurturing a Qur’anic generation.
Congregational Qur’an Recitation (Tadarus)
In addition to the tausiyah sessions, the programme includes congregational Qur’an recitation. The serene atmosphere of Masjid Al Siddiq resonates with the collective recitation of the holy verses by the teachers. This activity aims not only to increase the quantity of recitation, but also to cultivate unity and togetherness in righteousness.
The congregational tadarus becomes a moment of reflection and contemplation, reminding educators that the Qur’an is the primary source of inspiration in fulfilling their responsibility as teachers.
Tahsin Learning in Halaqah Groups
To enhance the quality of Qur’anic recitation, the programme also features tahsin (recitation improvement) sessions conducted in small halaqah groups. Each group is guided by a musyrif from among the asatidz (male and female teachers) of Al Siddiq.
Within this more focused and structured setting, teachers work on improving pronunciation (makharijul huruf), rules of tajwid, and fluency. The halaqah system enables more personalised and effective guidance, ensuring that each participant receives support according to their individual needs.
Rotational Activities, Consistent Commitment
The activities rotate daily between tausiyah sessions, congregational tadarus, and tahsin learning. This format ensures that the programme remains dynamic and engaging, sustaining participants’ enthusiasm throughout Ramadan.
With a duration of one hour each day following teaching activities, the programme serves as a spiritual oasis amidst the teachers’ busy schedules.
Ramadan as a School for Educators
The Al Siddiq Teachers’ Ramadan Programme demonstrates that the enhancement of educational quality begins with the development of its educators. Teachers who are spiritually grounded are better prepared to guide, inspire, and instil noble values in their students.
May this programme draw teachers closer to the Qur’an, strengthen their character, and deepen their sincerity in carrying out their noble trust as educators. Ramadan is not only a month of worship, but also a month of growth and refinement—for both students and the teachers who lead by example.
