A 3-year-old Nigerian Girl Memorizes The Quran by mrlizo: 7:28am On Feb 12, 2013


A three-year-old girl is amazing Nigeria after memorizing the whole Qur’an, becoming one of the youngest Muslims in the world to learn the Noble Book by heart.

“Honestly, I can’t say much but I am very grateful to Allah for this,” Sayyada Maimunatu Sheikh Dahiru, the girl’s mother, told our source on February 10.“This is indeed a blessing from Allah.”

Her daughter, Rukkayatu Fatahu Umar, has completed the memorization of the Noble Qur’an at the age of three year and eight months. The young Muslim girl began memorizing the Noble Book at an Islamic school founded by prominent Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi. “We were using a big parlor, which was divided into classes for the learning of the Qur’an,” Maimunatu, who teaches at the school, said.

“At that time, I always carried her on my back while teaching. From there, she started reciting along with the students and before long, she had memorized some verses.

“That was how she started attending memorization class. Right now, she has completed memorizing the whole Qur’an,” the proud mother said. The Noble Qur’an is consisted of 114 Surah (chapters) of varying lengths. Going to the school between 7a.m. and 6p.m. daily, the young girl found little time to play with her peers.

“It is not as if she does not play with her mates. She does, especially with those who are memorizing the Qur’an like her,” Maimunatu said. “This makes it easier for them, as their focus and attention are directed towards achieving the same goal, which is memorizing the Qur’an.”

The young Muslim girl is now preparing to go to school soon, breaking a family tradition of sending girls to study at the age of ten. “My husband has, however, said that the world is changing now, and that there is civilization all over the place,” the mother, who herself memorized the whole Qur’an at the age of 12, said.

“As such, our daughter will have the opportunity of going to a proper school whenever she reaches the age of six.” The Muslim mother has paid tribute to her father for offering her child the chance to memorize the Qur’an at this young age. “I’m also grateful that I have a father like Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who planted my feet, like other people, on the path of Islam,” she said.

This is a lie of the century.
The memory capacity of a 'three old brain' is not enough to contain the whole book of Qur'an.


I know of somebody,late Sheik's son,who was able to achieve it in 8 years.

I dont know why people talk of things they have no knowledge of. How much research have you carried out to arrive at this conclusion?

In fact the younger you are the better your chances of learning anything because your brain cells are still multiplying and in their developmental stage. ever wondered why children pick up new languages better than adults

Do you realize that Qur'an has 114 chapters with 6,348 verses?
Tell me,did the child start learning from the first day she was born?
When did she start interpreting words that she was able to memorize the whole of Qur'an in 3 years?
Please wake up and stop being deceived.

All they have to do is continue to recite it to her hears. I am not saying it is true since I haven't seen her recite it. but never say never.



You need to also put into consideration that this is faith based. Prophet Adam knew what the angels didn't because Allah made it so.

The problem with "education" in this part of the world is undue emphasis on "memorization". What practical benefits will accrue to this young child or the society as a whole as a result of her memorizing the Quran? When will our young children ever be taught to think creatively? When will they be taught to SOLVE PROBLEMS?
