West Java Province Assumes Host Role for MTQ 2026
The West Java provincial government (Pemprov Jabar) announced it will take over the organization of the Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) Jabar 2026 after the Garut regency withdrew as the original host. Governor Dedi Mulyadi said the province understood Garut’s limited regional budget and decided to step in.
The competition is now scheduled for January 2027, with the opening ceremony to be held in front of Gedung Sate and the closing ceremony at Masjid Al‑Jabbar. Officials emphasized that the event will be judged honestly.
LPTQ West Java chairman Asep Sukmana praised the decision, noting that MTQ serves to increase youth interest in the Quran and to spread Islamic teachings across the region.
