Hifz is the Arabic word for the memorisation of the Holy Qur’an.
As-Sadaqah is sponsoring students across the world for Quran Hifz Studies through different charities. Our support provides a student with the financial means to complete what is usually a three-year course. It is one of the best forms of Sadaqah Jariyah and the donor can expect to receive Allah’s blessings so long as the recipient remains alive. If the recipient has passed on his learning before his death, then the rewards continue through the vehicle of his students.
The Qur’an is the beating heart of Islam. It is Allah’s revelation – ‘The Guidance’ – transmitted through the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Salallahu ‘alaihi wasallam to help people navigate their lives in accordance with the Divine Will.
As Allah’s Word the status of the Qur’an is unrivalled and for this reason Muslims from the dawn of Islam have striven to preserve its authenticity. The cornerstone of Islam, it also forms the basis of all religious learning.
The Prophet Muhammad Salallahu ‘alaihi wasallam emphasised the importance of providing education stating: ‘The best amongst you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.‘ – Sahih al-Bukhari
