Imam Yakhsyallah: IBF Encourages Muslims to Love Reading Books

Jakarta, MINA – Imaam Yakhsyallah Mansur visited the Islamic Book Fair 2023 in Jakarta on Friday. He said, IBF encourages Muslims to love reading books more.

“Reading is the most important thing in Islamic law, as we know, the first surah that was revealed was Surah Al-Alaq regarding the command to read,” said Imaam Yakhsyallah during a visit to the Radio Silaturrahim AM 729Khz booth at the 2023 Islamic Book Fair, Istora, Senayan, Jakarta on Friday.

Imaam Yakhsyallah appreciated three institutions, namely Rasil, MINA News Agency and Insan Mandiri School, which this year we joined in one booth together.

“This booth was used by three institutions, Rasil, MINA and Insan Mandiri. “Thank God, the visitors are starting to get busy,” said Imaam Yakhsyallah, who is also on the Rasil Sharia Council.

Imaam Yakhsyallah’s hope for all brothers and sisters when visiting IBF or the largest book exhibition in Southeast Asia is to look at the Rasil booth.

“Welcome to visiting IBF, welcome to our booth, so you can preach especially MINA, Rasil, Insan Mandiri and also other institutions,” he said.
