On 21 October 2023, the ADA & Mundine Centre in Marawi City, Philippines, witnessed an extraordinary milestone. Five young students from the orphanage celebrated their completion of memorizing the entire Qur'an—earning the honorable title of Hāfiẓ. This day was filled with joy, pride, and gratitude as these children marked the culmination of years of dedication and perseverance.

The event saw the presence of esteemed teachers, supportive families, and members of the community who gathered to honor the graduates. The vibrant decorations and traditional attire added to the festive atmosphere, symbolizing the cultural and spiritual significance of the occasion.
Each graduate wore traditional robes and medals, a representation of their hard-earned success. Their journey to memorizing the Qur'an is not only a testament to their unwavering commitment but also to the incredible guidance and support provided by the teachers and mentors at the center.
The Significance of Becoming a Hāfiẓ

Memorizing the Qur'an is seen as a gift and a responsibility, as the Qur'an must be preserved and transmitted accurately through generations.

For these children, their achievement is not just a personal milestone—it is a legacy that will inspire future generations.
