Indonesia offers free petrol to Qur’an readers during Ramadan
Jakarta, (IINA) – Indonesian state-owned fuel Pertamina Company is offering two liters of free petrol to people who read a chapter of the Holy Qur’an during the month of Ramadan.
Prayer rooms were set up in five gas stations to accommodate this endeavor. The program organizers say the goal is to promote Islam in the society.
Participants are required to fill up a registration form before they proceed to the prayer room where they can pick up a copy of the Qur’an and read any chapter they like.
It is noteworthy that the mechanism uses an ‘honor system’, as the organizers do not monitor a person while he’s reading.
Two liters of petrol is enough to fill half-a-tank of a motorcycle, which is the most common mean of transport in the country.
