DATAR – Since its opening in 2010, Arrahman hifz (Qur’an memorization) school has not had its own building.
However, despite the limited facilities, the students at the hifz school located in Batipuah District
of Tanah Datar Regency has always been enthusiastic about memorizing the
Qur’an.
One of the
teachers, ustazah Dian Fitri, told ACTNews that they use the building owned
by another Quran school, TPA Nurul Iman. These two institutions use the
building in turns: TPA Nurul Iman’s uses it from noon to early afternoon, and
the hifz school uses it after asr until dusk. However, Arrahman hifz school is ready if one day they are
asked to find another place.
"This
building belongs to Nurul Iman Quran school, but we’re allowed to use it. Nurul
Iman uses it from noon to early afternoon, and we use it from mid-afternoon to
dusk. We have no classes at night because it’s the time for the students to
rest. After learning at school from morning to noon, learning Qur’an at the
Qur’an school from noon to early afternoon, and memorizing the Qur’an with us
from mid-afternoon to dusk, they deserve a proper rest at night,” said Ustazah Dian when met on Saturday (8/14/2021).
The hifz school also doesn’t have enough
Quran copies to use. The students must use the Qur’an copies in turns. At
times, they have to borrow from a local mosque next door.
"We also lack
Qur’an copies. The students use the Qur’ans in turns, and some of the students
bring their own from home or borrow from a nearby mosque. The hifz teachers also need assistance to
further develop their capacity," he said.
To help the
teachers at Arrahman Hifz School,
Global Zakat-ACT provided sponsorship for the teachers. "On behalf of the
teachers, I would like to thank Global Zakat-ACT and the benefactors," she
concluded. []
