The Tahfeezul Qur’an Programme was established in October, 2010 as an independent programme under the Muslim Community Centre, in response to the demands of the local Muslim Community for an academic approach to the teaching of the recitation and memorization of the Glorious Qur’an. The programme aims at producing Huffazul Qur’an (Memorizers of the Glorious Qur’an) and also to make up for the shortcomings observed in respect of the regular Islamiyyah Schools, which often could not accommodate the rigours of the Tahfeez in their already over-stretched syllabi. The memorization of the Glorious Qur’an requires a lot of effort and time; hence, the need for a separate management, curriculum and time table.
With all the arrangement in place, the Tahfeezul Qur’an Programme took off with six qualified Huffaz as teaching staff and ninety (90) students enrolled into six Halaqat (classes).The students were divided into two sections: the Full-Time (Regular) which had four classes and the Part-Time (Weekend) which had two classes. A Coordinator who is also a Hafeez was employed as Head of the Programme.
Since its commencement, the Programme has maintained high standards and provided a sound moral discipline, which have combined to make the programme quite popular among the parents. The Tahfeezul Qur’an Programme has employed good and qualified teaching staff who are Memorizers of the Glorious Qur’an with a conducive environment for students to memorize the Glorious Qur’an.
While the teaching of the correct recitation and memorization of the Glorious Qur’an provide the main focus of the Tahfeezul Qur’an Programme, its curriculum involves a range of other subjects in Arabic and Islamic Studies, thereby giving additional value to the learners.
To build a generation of Muslims with expertise in the recitation, memorization and content comprehension of the Glorious Qur’an, as well as instill in them the desire to practically apply its teachings in their regular endeavours as a pre-requisite of success in this life and the Hereafter.
To produce Huffaz, memorizers of the Glorious Qur’an among the Muslims children who are as well professionals in all fields e.g. Engineering, Medicine,Law, etc with the hope to plant fear of Allah in their minds for a better generation.
