Alhamdulillah, we were honoured to host our Qur’an Hifz Competition at Olive High yesterday.

A few months ago, 20 Olive High students took on the incredible challenge – with courage and dedication – to memorise the entire Surah Al-Baqarah.
Masha’Allah tabarakAllah, what an outstanding achievement.

Every participating student received a prize, with cash awards as follows:
🥇 1st place: £250
🥈 2nd place: £150
🥉 3rd place: £100

Alhamdulillah, this competition has inspired many of our students to now begin their journey towards completing the full Hifz of the Qur’an Kareem. May Allah place barakah in their efforts, Ameen.

To mark this beautiful milestone, delicious food was served to students and parents, celebrating their hard work and success together.

May Allah reward our students, families, and teachers abundantly. Masha’Allah ✨
