Youngster with the Quran at her fingertips
The Hindu
Fathima, 11, is the youngest girl from Kerala to memorise the holy text
Fathima Raihana is 11 years old, and she can memorise the Quran. Her achievement may not be unique among girls from across the world who memorise the Quran. But it is certainly a creditable feat in Kerala, as she is the youngest girl to memorise the holy text in the State. A student of Madin Academy at Malappuram, Fathima began memorising the Quran while she was in Standard 2. What attracted her to the scripture was its beauty of recitation. She used to listen keenly to her mother recite and teach the Quran when she was very small. Before she turned seven, Fathima had learned one of the 30 Juz of the Quran.More Related News
