Ahmadiyya set to graduate 40 HUFAS

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Nigeria is set to graduate 40 HUFAS (young pupils between the ages of nine and 12 years, who have memorised the Holy Qur’án) within three years.

The Hufas, among whom is Abdul Wahab Yahya Salaam, were trained at the Madrasat-il Tahfizul Qur’án (Hafiz Class), Ahmadiyya Missionary Training Centre in Ilaro, Ogun State, South West Nigeria.

The complete memorisation of the Holy Qur’án programme started in 1997 under the (Amirship) leadership of Alhaji Hussein Oyekanmi Sunmonu, who donated his buildings at Ilaro for the take-off of the project. He also constructed a mosque within the precinct of the students’ environment.

Ahmadiyya took over the challenge of training young people who will memorise the Qur’án to enliven the strategy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad to preserve the Holy Qur’án and its sanctity.

The Jama’at had since taken over the full care of the students providing new classrooms and boarding house. The women group-Lajnal Imaillah- has also availed the Hufas the use of its mosque at Jamia Training Centre in Ilaro, while the parents of the students assist in the general well-being of the students.

To date, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Nigeria has trained over 100 Hufas. Some of them are already studying Medicine, Engineering Law, Arabic and Islamic Studies, while others has dedicated their life for missionary work.

This year’s graduation ceremony is scheduled for July 11 by 10am at the Jamia Ahmadiyya Training Centre, Ilaro Ogun state, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Mashuud Adenrele Fasola, The Amir, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Nigeria.

Prominent Islamic Scholars and important dignitaries are expected at the epoch- making event.
