A reporter from DailyTrust contacted a deputy Chief Imam of Tudun Jukun, Zaria Juma’at mosque, Ustaz Bashir Lawal, for comments.
The Islamic cleric said it was possible for Allah to bless a 3-year-old with the memorisation of the complete Holy Quran, adding:
“But in the history of Islam, that is the generations that the prophet (SAW) stamped as the best, there was no reported case of anyone who memorised the Holy the Quran at that age. There were instances where children of nine and above were reported to have memorised the Holy Quran, but not three.”
Alhamdullillah...
