Ever wondered where in the world are 5 new Quran Memorizers produced every day?
The answer is Masjid an-Nabawi, The Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah al Munawwarah.
Hundreds of thousands of mosques or masajids located around the world have their own Maktabs to teach Quran recitation and help students memorise the Holy Book. But, Masjid an-Nabawi has the distinction of producing, as an average, five Quran Memorizers every day.
And, the credit for this splendid work goes to the Quran and Sunnah Program launched and run by the Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques that also looks after the management of the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah al Mukarramah and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah al Munawwarah.
Masjid an Nabawi in The Prophet’s City Madinah holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide, not only as the second holiest mosque but also as a hub of knowledge and learning since the time of The Prophet (Peace be upon him). For centuries, scholars and students have gathered in the mosque to learn The Holy Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, and other Islamic sciences under the guidance of some of the most respected scholars in the Muslim world.
The Quran Classes and Study Circles, also called Halaqat, in Masjid Nabawi are famous for their emphasis on deep understanding, correct recitation, and a strong connection with the Quran’s teachings.
The approach to Quran learning at Masjid Nabawi is not only structured but also spiritual, allowing students to connect their hearts to the divine message.
