Hifz-al-Quran is an enrichment course, which will be open to those students who continuously demonstrate a strong desire to memorize the Quran. Students will have exams at the end of the semester. The care and respect of the Mushaf (the book of Qur’an) will also be emphasized, along with the regularity of its recitation. The focus is on Hifz (memorization of the Quran). The applicability and practice of Allah’s (SWT) commands are illustrated and emphasized. These teachings also strengthen the Islamic culture.

There will be two approaches

Full Hifz – Memorizing the whole Quran

Part Hifz – Memorizing the last two Juz and important surahs
