The first graduation ceremony for those who have memorized the Holy Quran has been celebrated, with certificates being awarded.
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu presented the certificates to the graduating Hafiz. This marks the first ceremony held in the Maldives to celebrate the graduation of those who have memorized the Holy Quran.
Organized by the Quran Center, the ceremony took place tonight at the Islamic Center’s conference hall, where the President handed over the Hafiz certificates to the graduates. A total of 24 Hafiz received their graduation certificates from the President during this ceremony.
Due to the special attention given to religious matters by this government, the practical work of teaching the Holy Quran has expanded more than before. As such, following the decision to conduct Quran classes in every inhabited island, free classes are currently being conducted in 10 mosques across different regions of the Maldives.
Furthermore, to restart the branches of the Quran Center that had been suspended for various reasons, efforts to find teachers have resulted in bringing teachers from abroad for 6 islands. Additionally, new centers of the National Quran Center have been established in 7 islands.
Moreover, Quran teaching has been further expanded in Hulhumalé, and a center of the National Quran Center has been opened in Vilimalé to begin teaching.
As part of the government’s special emphasis on producing Hafiz, 630 students are currently studying, and the President has decided to double the financial benefits given by the government to those memorizing the Holy Quran. The government has also designated the Hafiz certificate as an advanced level certificate.
