Banduan Hafiz Al-Quran Diberi Pengampunan

Manama: Banduan yang menghafal al-Quran layak diberikan pengampunan, kata Kementerian Hal Ehwal Agama Islam di Kuwait.

Keputusan terbabit adalah sebahagian daripada usaha untuk memulih banduan dan membantu mereka untuk berhadapan dengan masyarakat.

“Kuwait memilih program pendekatan agama sebagai sebahagian daripada dasar memulih banduan,” kata kementerian terbabit yang dipetik media tempatan.

“Di bawah program terbabit, tahanan menghadiri kuliah dan pembelajaran al-Quran untuk memberikan latihan kepada sikap mereka. Kejayaan mereka akan membolehkan mereka untuk menerima pengampunan ketua negara.”

Kementerian itu berkata, 137 tahanan terbabit dalam program itu, berkurangan daripada lebih 200 dalam program yang sama tahun sebelumnya.

Pada masa ini, tiada peraturan khusus membenarkan tahanan yang mengingati ayat dalam kitab suci itu untuk dimasukkan dalam senarai pengampunan, kata Kementerian Kehakiman. – Agensi

Pardon prisoners who memorise Quran

Kuwait’s Endowments and Islamic Affairs ministry has said that prisoners who can memorise the Quran might be eligible for the annual pardon.

The decision will be part of efforts to rehabilitate inmates and help them re-integrate society driven by high values. According to the ministry, 137 inmates were last enrolled in the memorisation programme.

“Kuwait adopts a religious preaching programme as part of its rehabilitation policy for inmates,” the ministry said.

“Under the programme, prisoners attend lectures and study the Quran in order to instill greater discipline in their attitudes. Their success should allow them to be covered by the Amir’s pardon,” Gulf News quoted the ministry, as saying.

There are currently no definite regulations that allow inmates who memorise the Quran to be included in the pardon, the ministry of justice has said.

However, the Endowments and Islamic affairs ministry is working on a proposal that makes those who can recite the Quran eligible for amnesty in the future.

Several religious groups in the Muslim world have called for shaving time off prisoners’ sentences if they can memorise all or parts of the Quran.
