KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 (Bernama) -- More than 100 people today participated in a road treasure hunt with a difference -- finding answers to clues based on Islamic knowledge.
The participants, all Muslim converts and some among them from abroad, had to find answers to questions on Islamic teachings within a five-kilometre radius of the National Mosque here.
The treasure hunt, carrying the theme "A Drive to Appreciate God's Creations", was organised by the Islamic Outreach-ABIM (Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement) with the cooperation of the National Mosque.
It was flagged off at the mosque by Senior Assistant Director of the mosque's Social Service Unit, Md Ali Sarbini.
Md Ali said the participants had to find answers to questions on Islamic knowledge at every pit stop, for example how many times one has to pray in a day.
Sarah Abdullah, 30, a Filipino participant who had embraced Islam two years ago, said: "It was great and challenging. We can mix with new Muslims and at the same time know Islam much better."
