Dinar Candy's Father Monitors Online Quran Recitation Competition, His Comments on Tajwid are Sharp!

Kapanlagi.com - The initiative of Dinar Candy to hold an online Quran recitation competition during Ramadan has indeed received special attention from her father, Acep Ginayah Sobiri. As is known, Dinar Candy's father is a Quran teacher with a background in pesantren education for over a decade. His presence in monitoring this competition adds a unique flavor.

Dinar recounted a funny moment when her father joined the live broadcast to listen to the participants' recitations. With his solid religious knowledge, he did not hesitate to provide sharp critiques regarding the makhraj and tajwid of the competition participants.

"Yesterday Dad had a chance... he was in Jakarta, and he managed to join my live session. He was a bit sharp, because he has been in pesantren for 14 years, so he understands makhraj, ihfa, idgham. 'Wow, this is lacking! The tajwid is insufficient!' (laughs)," Dinar Candy shared when met in the Kapten Tendean area, Mampang, South Jakarta, on Monday (02/03/2026).

1. Father Dinar's Sharp Comments

The background of Dinar's perfectionist father regarding the recitation of the Quran made Dinar worried. She feared that her father's sharp comments would discourage the participants, especially the mothers who were just learning, and make them feel down or "mentally affected". Therefore, Dinar tried to mediate and provide understanding to her father.

"Tell the participants, 'You should study more,' he said. I told him, 'Dad, please be patient, this is meant to share'. If something is good, we mark it as really good, this is just good, this is VIP, that's how I mark it," Dinar explained.

2. Dinar's Quran Recitation Competition Open to the Public

Dinar emphasized that this competition is inclusive and open to the public regardless of professional background. Anyone can participate, from parking attendants, traders, to mosque caretakers. Dinar wants everyone to feel the happiness and blessings of the month of Ramadan through this event.

"Because Kak Dinar doesn't choose, anyone can join. Whether it's a parking attendant or a caretaker, everyone can participate. So the issue of the pronunciation of letters is random, the people are random," she added.

3. Melyan's Voice of Recitation Captivates Dinar

One of the participants named Melyan, a qoriah whose voice successfully sent shivers down Dinar's spine, also confirmed the diversity of the competition participants. She witnessed firsthand the enthusiasm of people from various backgrounds to participate in the recitation competition organized by Dinar.

Dinar hopes this positive activity can become a field of reward for her and be beneficial for many people. She is committed to continue sharing blessings, both in the form of Umrah gifts and Eid THR, to the participants who have sincerely participated.

"Some are selling, some are in the kitchen, inside the mosque. So there are many," added Melyan.
