According to Dr. Mohd Hizul Azri, he hoped the effort would be blessed, especially since it was done during Ramadhan, and hoped various parties and the community would benefit from the programme.

The Khatam Al-Quran Ceremony features recitals by Qari and Qariah from Malaysia, Egypt, Indonesia, New Zealand, Chad, Bangladesh, Russia and Morocco.
