TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - While she cannot read and write, this did not prevent her from pursuing her dream.
She started learning the Quran by heart some 16 years ago by taking courses at Umrawa Qurani Center in her hometown in the province of Irbid.
Now her wish of memorizing the entire Quran has come true after years of efforts.
Nuama Fuaz, Nura’s Quran teacher, says while she is illiterate, she showed so much enthusiasm in memorizing the Quran.
“That is why I was encouraged to help her learn the entire Quran by heart.”
The Holy Quran is the only religious Scripture that is memorized by its followers.
Innumerable persons in every Muslim community have memorized the Quran since the first day it was revealed.
The Quran has 30 Juzes (parts), 114 Surahs (chapters) and 6,236 verses.
