Minister of Religious Affairs: Indonesia Needs 2 Million Mushafs per Year

In his remarks, Minister of Religion Prof. Nasaruddin Umar expressed his appreciation and full support for the IQH movement.

"Upholding the word of Allah and making His name fragrant, as is done at IQH, will bring protection from Him," he said.

He added that reading the Quran has many benefits, especially since it can now be understood in various languages. The Minister of Religious Affairs also highlighted the quality of the Indonesian Quran industry, which continues to grow.

‍

According to him, Indonesia has high-quality paper raw materials that allow local production of mushafs to be carried out more affordably than imports.

"Indonesia needs two million mushafs per year, while currently only around 400 thousand mushafs are available," he explained.

Closing his remarks, the Minister of Religion reiterated the importance of glorifying the Qur'an:

"The Quran must be above all else. Amidst the busy end-of-year hustle and bustle, I'm here to extend my congratulations on the successful holding of IQH 2025. Ahlan wa sahlan at the Istiqlal Mosque."
