Reciting Together, by Ismawan Ismail

There is an Indonesian as well as Eastern Malaysian custom to gather and recite the Quran together. On some occasions, the event is conducted with a considerable number of participants. They recite the Quran together, without any understanding, with a blind belief that they will get rewards for it.
