Mashallah , Indeed Allah is out there opening the signs for those who do not believe. Yet they deny .

We had a Kid back in Pakistan who did it in a very little time , God gifted kids of Muslims do that , congratulations to the Lucky parents.

In my humble opinion, this is 'zulm'. He is just a eight year old kid, making him memorizing the entire Quran in 4 months is only possible if he was allowed not to do anything else but to learn the verses by heart. I dont think that is something very humane.

Allah knows better.

Would you have said that if he was sent to school every day forcefully?

Nope, they they are supposed to teach children science that is based on proven facts & history from a neutral standpoint. They are taught languages to communicate and mathematics to solve problems facing humanity.

It does not compare to something u are forced to adopt just bcoz u were born in a certain family

FYI schools are a means to develop ur own reasoning, not quite common in organized religion.

My ex has 2 sisters who live in Pakistan; and one day, it came up and i asked why they're still in Pakistan. And she told me they are still in Pakistan because they are learning "quran lessons" (american english). They'll come here once they "reach the age" considered by her dad.


This story, I find it true that this child was either forced to memorize it or was brought up in this way ever since he was born.

Anyways; a great feat by an 8 year old.

OK, there is no need to get emotional. I say the same for the kids who engage in activities such as spell bee etc. Once I was watching an interview of a kid who had won the first prize; was an Indian and his parents were telling proudly that he memorizes the Dictionary eight hours a day… Those eight hours were in addition to the time he used to spent in doing his School homework etc. Fine, now what about the play time? Time for extra-curricular activities? Great that he was a spell bee champion but at what cost? Wearing a high number spectacles at the tender age of 11-12, in poor health, far behind in athletic and social skills than his peers! What he or rather his parents achieved from making him a spell bee champion while ignoring many other things extremely important for his personality?

Irrespective of how intelligent or even genius a kid maybe, he still has a total of twenty four hours a day. In these twenty four hours, he has to sleep, he has to eat, and he has to play in addition to going to the School or Madrassa. I can make my son finish his one year syllabus in merely three months (in a quarter of an year), but to achieve this, I would have to make him work harder, much harder, at the cost of the time reserved for the sleep, playing and social interaction. Yes, he will finish his syllabus, but at a certain price.

There is a reason why curriculum is designed and spreaded over a period of three quarters a year; some are harder working than others, and manage to finish their syllabus ahead of their peers, but not in one quarter of the time. Those who do that, almost always lack in other abilities and skills.

Therefore, I don’t like the idea when somebody is made to achieve something forcefully. I am positive that the kid had no choice whatsoever but to do what his parents and teachers asked him to do. At this tender age, all he learnt is to memorize the full Quran, without perhaps understanding even 1% of it. I won’t blame him, as this was something that had to be thought about by his parents and teachers. Other than being able to repeat the Quranic verses like a parrot, what he achieved? And at what cost? It is like memorizing something in Chinese or French, but what good it would do to you if you are clueless about the meaning of it?

But don’t hear me, I may be a misfit. As a parent however, I would never make my sons learn anything unless they are ready to grasp the meaning and importance of it.

Qsaark even if he is forced to read the Holy Quran..if there is no interest from the kid he will not be learn it in 3 months..The kid was also very interested in learning it ..I still remembers parents woke me up at early morning to study..it did not do any good to me..only my sleep is lost..i never even bother to read a single page..

Like Seiko said, maybe the kid enjoyed it, theres all kind of people out there, and im not getting emotional.

For an 8 year old, whos father is a poor farmer, tell me in countries like pakistan,india and Bangladesh what play time or school are you talking about. The eight year would be working in the fields along with his father all day. I think he is fortunate that he got some kind of schooling and like in the article the 8 year ole liked it and picked it up faster.

Plus there are many benefits of becoming a hafiz, in pakistan not sure about Bangladesh, if you are a Hafiz, and no matter in what ever field you want to go into, there is always less competition for you, your fees are less or none at some institutions.

what science, the same science which you sit there memorizing(raata) off a book in English which you don't understand at all?

There are Islamic schools which give you both religious and the other schooling.

What a stupid quote @ "Zulm".

It was just boys memorizing power, which is God Gifted, nothing to do with this "zulm" thing, here normally kids do memorize Quran in 3-6 years , yet he manage to do it only 4 months, shows his memorizing power.

The only problem with you was, he memorize "QURAN", which is a bit un-acceptable for you "Modern" People. But it is fine to put your 3 n half year kid to school.

he can memorize all the pages he wants
but unless he actually knows what he is reading it is quite useless
may God bless his soul
