We have 6 Hifz Classes. Side by side with student’s memorisation they are taught Aqeedah, Seerah, Fiqh & Akhlaaq (Good Character) etc. Upon the excessive demand from parents to facilitate their younger children we started classes for age 5+ boys. Teaching them the Qa’idah and so on. This has resulted in a very fruitful influx taking the numbers to over 130 children attending our supplementary school. We have 2 classes for the 5-to-7-year age group. 2 ## Ramadhan Taraweeh Provision Many Masajid for the month of Ramadhan are in need of Huffaz (Those who have memorised the Qur’an) to recite Taraweeh.
