BANGKA -- Creating a young generation who loves the Qur'an, PT Timah Tbk supports the construction of the Darul Muttaqin Education Park Unit 157 under the auspices of the Nuurul Fatah Foundation in the Hakok Environmental Area, Matras Village, Bangka Regency, Monday (31/1/2022).

Santri who learn not only from the Hakok Environment, but also from Matras, Koalo, Jelutung, Bedeng Ake, Hakok, and Sinar Jaya.
During this time, the students learned to ride in shophouses owned by residents and teachers' houses. The reason is, the Alqur'an education park does not have its own building.
"So far, the children have studied in the shophouse owned by the residents on loan. There is also a teacher's house. That's why we started building a building here," said Nuurul Fatah Foundation supervisor, Rina Diani.
Rina Diani recounted, the students studied in the afternoon which were divided into two classes, where the students learned the science of recitation, fiqh, reading and writing the letters of the Qur'an, moral theology, Sholawat, recitations, and others.

Furthermore, he conveyed that his party freed the cost of education for students who were less fortunate economically.
