Nastrul Lahil-L-Fatih Society NASFAT has stressed on the importance of Quranic Education.

It called on every Muslim to strive in the recitation of the Holy Quran which it said not only brings one closer to his creator but a source of light to every home.

This call was made during the Quranic graduation ceremony (Walimat) of pupils of NASFAT Model school held at NASFAT village Kaduna.

NASFAT Zonal Missionary/Imam NASFAT Kaduna Branch, Imam Marooph Muh’d Raji delivering a lecture on the importance of reading the Holy Quran described the graduands as lights in their homes because recitation of  the Holy Quran beams light into a home.

The parents he said should thank Allah for making their children a shinny light in their homes.

He appealed to parents to send their children to NASFAT Islamiyya where they will be given sound education.

 “l am urging our parents to bring your children to NASFAT Islamiyya where we teach our children how to read Quran, where we teach our children how to speak Arabic, where we teach our children lslamic studies.

Quran needs continuous recitation so keep encouraging them to read it on a daily basis so as to be able to read it perfectly.”

Commending the teachers for their hardwork, he said he personally tested the graduands and found them worthy.

Imam Maruf elaborating on the benefits of reading the Quran said, the Quran aside providing us with spiritual insight, it recitation gives one solace and inner peace.

Surah Ar-Ra’ad.

“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured”.

With the unveiling of the Quran, the Chairman of the occasion declared the event open. He urged the graduands to be good ambassadors by making good use of what they have learnt.

NASFAT Kaduna Branch Chairman, Alhaji AbdulGaniyu Ajao who spoke through the Vice Chairman Alhaji AbdulAkeem Adeniji

 emphasized on parents taking seriously the Quranic education of their children.

While appreciating the efforts of the teachers for a job well done, he urged the graduands to imbibe the habit of reading their Quran.

Speaking in a brief interview with Hajiya Zainab Tanimu of Newsreservoir,  Head of NASFAT Model school Islamiyya,  Ustaz Abdulrashid Yusuf expressed gratitude to Allah for making the Walimat a success.

“We thank Almighty Allah for giving us the grace to organize this Walimat for our pupils who have successfully completed the recitation of the holy Quran.

“This is the first Walimat. We wanted to do it before but God did not make it possible for us.

Alhamdullilah, I am really overjoyed to  witness this day.

“We urge all our parents to keep encouraging their children. It is not enough to just know how to recite the Holy Quran.

“The recitation of the Holy Quran does not stop at the reading of the messages. It goes beyond that. Many of us just read the messages, they don’t know the tafsir,  they don’t know the fique.  All these aspects of the Holy Quran are very important. It gives one a better understanding of what is contained in the Quran.

“We are calling on the parents, everyone of us to please join hands with the Mallams to make the task easy by encouraging our children and even ourselves to seek the knowledge of the Holy Quran.”

Parents who were full of joy seeing their children graduating filed out to add colour to the occasion.

It was a grand occasion for every NASFAT member who watched with keen interest the graduating students.
