Semarang to host 31st National MTQ in September 2026

The 31st National Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ Nasional XXXI) is scheduled to take place in Semarang, Central Java, from September 12 to 19, 2026. The event is expected to draw thousands of participants and visitors from various provinces across Indonesia.

Sumarno, the Regional Secretary of Central Java, has called upon Civil Servants (ASN) within the provincial government to actively promote the event. He encouraged employees to use their personal social media accounts to spread information, ensuring the public is aware of the upcoming national gathering.

Beyond its religious significance, the event is viewed as a strategic opportunity to strengthen national unity and foster a deeper understanding of the Al-Qur’an. Officials hope the large-scale event will bring positive socio-economic impacts to the Central Java region.
