Over 460 Students Learn Quran Recitation at Nigeria Islamic School
40 of the students, aged between 13 and 23 years, have memorized the entire Holy Book.
At their graduation ceremony on Saturday in Daura, Sheikh Haruna-Rasheed, the manager of the school, called on parents to support their children to acquire moral education.
“Moral education is good for the children; parents should encourage them to acquire it along with modern education,” he said.
The cleric said that the school had more than 400 branches nationwide, and urged governments, organizations and individuals to support moral training and the pursuit of Islamic education.
Alhaji Tanimu Bindawa, the Katsina State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, in an address, commended the management of the school for achieving the feat, pledging that government would continue to support the pursuit of religious education.
The Zonal Director of the school, Sheikh Naziru Daura, said that the graduating students comprised males and females from 45 branches of the school in Daura Local Government Area.
