Traditionally, in Islamic societies, the first education that children received was memorizing the Quran. In an effort to revive and preserve this tradition, we have started the Imam Warsh School of Quran Memorization. The focus of this school is to instill in our youth love of the Quran as well as to inculcate self-discipline and respect for the chivalrous characteristics of the Muslims of the past. We provide instruction in the memorization of Quran and fundamentals of the Arabic language.We pray that implementation of this sunnah will add blessings to all of our lives and alleviate some of the hardships being endured by the ummah.
