Brazilian Teenager Memorizes Entire Holy Quran

--A Brazilian teenager has managed to become the first young Latin American who has the entire holy Quran by heart.

According to The Panorama Newspaper, it took Ahmad Nasser some four years to memorize the entire holy book. He cited God’s blessing and his instructor’s efforts the reason behind his accomplishment.

“I tried to memorize the verses observing the parameters of Tajweed which is a difficult undertaking in a non-Islamic country,” Nasser, who is originally from Lebanon, said.

13-year- old Ahmad Nasser has partaken in Quran memorization competitions in various countries including Saudi Arabia, Libya, and United Arab Emirates.
