Many people are seeing the process of the memorization of the Quran as not worth doing, where you attend a school that concerns itself with a memorization of the Quran. The idea is that you can either just learn how to read the quran as a part time while attending western education, which is the future as the said. Whereas if you attend Quran memorization school for some years, you have wasted your time and that would leave us behind in the community. Since we have no doctors and high paying jobs. It seems like some huffaaz, who are the Quran memorizers, are not happy for that experience, including those who spent years in the Tahfeez, which is Quran memorization school, but did not memorize it. I will comment on this, as a haafiz my self who went through Tahfeez.

I believe those Quran school should maintain learning with the Thaqaafa, which is Islamic sciences including Arabic language, so they understand the Quran at least at some level. But if it's only the Quran as some do, this is very bad, because that is where the excitments come in and you would be a proud Haafiz.

Also they should make those schools a little bit more attractive by eliminating unnecessary beating of kids. Teachers should learn how to teach. If not, those students will run to western education as we see it.

In the coming weak Insha-Allah, we will discuss the virtues of Quran memorization.

Was Salaam.
