2024 Achievements
As part of our dedication to the preservation of The Holy Qur’ān, Ḥamalatul-Qur’ān had the opportunity to participate in the annual Town Centre Hifth competition. The competition featured five categories: one Juz, five Ajzā, ten Ajzā, fifteen Ajzā, and full Qur’ān. Our students took part in three of these categories, preparing diligently in advance.
Alḥamdulillāh, through the grace of Allāh, our students performed well. We were honored to achieve second place in the one Juz category, as well as second and third place in the five Ajzā category. Additionally, Ḥāfith Ismaeel Saban, was blessed to place first in the full Qur’ān category.
We are grateful for the opportunity to take part in such an event, and we make du‘ā that all our students continue to grow in their memorization and character, always striving for excellence with sincerity and humility. With this in mind, we intend to participate in this competition every year, InshāAllāh, as part of our ongoing commitment to the Qur’ān.

This commitment to excellence runs from teacher to student, uplifting the entire school’s morale and fostering a culture of dedication and love for The Holy Qur’ān. We make du‘ā for the continued success of all those striving in the service of the Qur’ān.
