The distribution received an enthusiastic response from the people and the management of Islamic boarding schools. They were very grateful to receive the donation of the Quran holy books because it is very useful to increase understanding of religion and eradicate illiteracy of the Quran.

One of the teachers at the Mafatih Islamic Boarding School, Sheikh Febri who received the distribution, said that the holy books were needed by his students.

"God willing, from this one Quran, we have saved one person from being illiterate in the Quran," he said, to reporters, after the handover, at the Mafatih Islamic Boarding School, Wanayasa, Purwakarta district.

Meanwhile, the BWA program staff member who handed over the Quran, Fairuz Abadi, said that the people in the two districts were very happy with the arrival of the Quran holy books from BWA. They felt very helped by the giving of the holy books, especially those in remote areas.

"Hopefully the Quran that all the waqif (the giver of Islamic endowment) have endowed can become a jariyah practice whose rewards will continue to flow, and also for people who get the Quran can get the widest possible benefits," Fairuz hoped.

On the other hand, he adedd, BWA would like to thank the waqif who have given waqf (Islamic endowment) to BWA, so that the distribution of the Quran waqf in West Java can be carried out.

"BWA also thanks Galena Logistik, Namirah Logistik, and also other parties involved. Hopefully it will be a practice of jariyah for all of us," Fairuz said.
