Dubai: A number of females aged eight to 60 joined an intensive Quran learning course as part of Dar Al Ber Society’s innovative scheme with the Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi Centre for Quran Service.

Up to 102 female memorisers from Ajman and Sharjah were enrolled in the course at Shaikh Zayed Mosque in Al Jurf Area, which aims to help learners revise memorisation of the entire Quran during Ramadan.

The Quran Memorisation Project for Females, part of the sixth edition of a multi-branch Quran course, has helped the women revise 20, 15, 10, and five volumes of the Quran comprising 30 volumes and offers a special class for tajweed or art of recitation.

As many as 259 learners are enrolled in the course in the emirates of Dubai, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. Graduates got certificates on course completion while some learners are accredited to teach Quran as per the Hafs and Shuaba Rewayas or schools of recitation.

The Quran Memorisation Project is meant to help students better memorise and recite the Quran, understand its meaning and principles, and produce competent teachers with sound methodology.

Moza Naseeb, General Coordinator of The Ber Quran Memorisation Project for Females, paid tribute to the Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi Centre for Quran Service for supporting the programme and teaching the Quran to as many learners as possible.

“The course is in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who used to study the Quran every day during Ramadan with angel Jibril,” she said.

Dar Al Ber already runs a number of diverse courses on teaching accreditation, Jazriya for Tajweed art, scientific textbooks on memorisation, children’s guidebook for Quran memorisation, foreign community classes, as well as winter and summer courses.
