Simferopol Hafiz School
Several years ago with participation of Spiritual Management of Muslims of Crimea and with the assistance of ''Alraid "Association in Simferopol was found specialized school where started professional training of hafizs, people, who quote the Holy Quran by heart.
In spite of the fact that for today the Crimean High Hafiz School is the only in Ukraine Muslim educational institution of this profile, its achievements cannot be overestimated.
In studying of the Holy Quran are engaged here students aged from 13 to 18 years. Within 3 years between the lessons in secondary school students study the Arabic language, the fundamentals of Islam, the creed, the biography of the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran itself, for what are used authoritative techniques of learning of texts of the Noble Book.
Such an approach to training allows to cope with the task set for the students, about what witnesses the fact that the first hafiz in Ukraine Suleyman Valiev learned the Quran just for a year and a half and at the same time finished cum laude secondary school. It is necessary to note that Suleyman already participated in the International Competition of the Quran readers in Dubai.
There is a hope, that by means of the Hafiz School in Ukraine will appear the basis for the development of Islamic spirituality, and also that Ukraine along with the other countries could participate in international competitions on reading the Quran that will to a certain extent contribute to strengthening of its authority in the Muslim world.
