An official with Turkey’s Religious Affairs Department said that every year some 2500 individuals receive Quran memorization certificates after attending the country’s summer Quran classes.
Ekrem Keles said that some 270000 individuals participate in the annual Quran classes held in mosques across Turkey, 2500 of whom receive memorization certificates.
In order to raise the number of Quran memorizers of the country, the department makes every effort to improve the quality of the summer classes, he noted.
The Quran classes are annually held by the Religious Affairs Department for kids and teenagers.

wow! that is so cool. i wish our muslim community could be so inspired to place so much emphasis on memorising the Qur’aan.
BTW. at what age would you recommend a child start her journey to memorising the Qur’aan?

yep, mashaa Allah! hmmm…the challenge is on now! i so wish our S.A. counterparts would take up this worthy challenge:)
The younger the better, inshaa Allah! Even though it may not be learning or memorising per say, but to begin with connecting to The Qur’aan & learning the element of love for The Qur’aan, is so very important..seeing their mom reading more Qur’aan, holding her mus-haf lovingly & living a Qur’aanic lifestyle, makes all the more difference:)
SubhaanAllah, let the journey begin today, inshaa Allah:) All the best:)
