Ummul Qura Academy, situated in Kano, Northwestern Nigeria, celebrated a momentous occasion as 22 students were honored for their remarkable achievement of memorizing the Glorious Quran.
The graduation ceremony, which took place last weekend at the school’s Sheka quarters, was an exuberant display of dedication and devotion to the holy scripture.
Malama Fatima Salisu Nasir, the head of the school, proudly announced this outstanding feat to the attending newsmen.
The students, who ranged in age from 12 to 13, diligently spent nine years in their pursuit of Quranic knowledge.
Among the graduates were ten young boys and twelve young girls, demonstrating a balanced representation of gender dedication to the cause. Ummul Qura Academy, which started nine years ago with a modest enrollment of 8 students, has now flourished to accommodate 400 students, under the guidance of 12 experienced teachers.
In light of this remarkable accomplishment, the school authorities are calling on Muslim families to follow suit and encourage their children to dedicate themselves to the recitation and memorization of the Quran, thereby fostering a deeper spiritual connection with their faith
