The Azaan International School of Islamic Studies conducted its annual Hafiz-e-Quran award ceremony here in Hyderabad. The graduation ceremony, formally called “Dastarbandi”, awards certificates to young ‘huffaz’ / students who have successfully finished memorising the entire Quran.
Every year the school trains and produces hundreds of scholarly young boys and girls who memorise the Quran by heart. The young children often do this in tandem with their regular academic studies.
