IPOH, June 27 (Bernama) -- A deep devotion to the Quran has earned Sharifah Khasif Fadzillah Syed Badiuzzaman the Perak Maal Hijrah 1447H Personality Award at a state-level celebration graced by Sultan Nazrin Shah last night.
Sharifah Khasif, 43, said she was humbled by the recognition, calling it a tribute to the greatness of the Quran and the guidance of her late father. “If we become people of the Quran, God willing, we will receive everything we need,” she recalled his words.
Originally from Ipoh, she never imagined receiving such a prestigious honour, despite her past achievements in Quranic recitation at national and international levels.
At the event, she received RM15,000 in cash from the Perak state government, an umrah package worth RM9,000, a plaque, and a certificate.
She is currently the director of Akademi Sharifah Khasif and leads the Sharifah Khasif Quran and Taranum Tahfiz Centre. She also serves as a Quranic Studies advisor at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia.
Sharifah Khasif was crowned Overall Best Qariah in 2009, and has previously won the Perak Quran recitation competition eight times between 2000 and 2008.
Despite her accolades, she describes herself simply as a lover of the Quran striving to uphold its teachings.
