In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Noble Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family, his companions, and all those who follow his guidance until the Last Day.
With immense gratitude to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Utrujjah Academy proudly congratulates the family of Ahmad Ismail on the successful completion of his Qur’an memorization today, Friday, May 8, 2026, at exactly 2:37 PM.
Ahmad Ismail, a native of Oyo, was born at Elekuro Hospital, Ibadan, on March 26, 2008, and resides at Madinah, Aba–Ege, Amuloko.
Before joining Utrujjah Academy, he pursued his Western education at Mubarak Al-Haqq School, Madinah, where he completed his SSCE in the science class. He also enrolled at Ma’hadun-Nuur, Aba–Ege, Amuloko, for Islamic studies, where he is currently in SSS 1. In addition, he previously attended Arabic classes at Utrujjah Academy.
He joined Utrujjah Academy with the academy’s first set of students and began his journey of memorizing the Noble Qur’an with dedication and perseverance. During his earlier stay at the academy, he memorized between four and five ajzaa’. After the academy relocated, he reenrolled on August 1, 2025, already having memorized seven ajzaa’.
Throughout his memorization journey, he faced several cognitive and personal challenges, especially during tasmee‘ sessions, and at times even struggled with eating properly. Nevertheless, through patience, determination, and the grace of Allah, he remained steadfast until he completed the memorization of the Noble Qur’an.
Ahmad plans to further both his Western and Islamic education. He also advised people around the world to draw closer to Allah, emphasizing that closeness to Allah makes every difficulty easier. He reminded everyone to value and appreciate their parents and to be grateful for their presence. He further encouraged Muslims to dedicate time to the recitation of the Qur’an and invited non-Muslims to embrace Islam.
We pray that Allah سبحانه وتعالى makes this remarkable achievement a source of joy and coolness to the eyes of his parents, elevates him through the Qur’an, blesses him with sincerity and steadfastness, and grants him the honor of living by the Qur’an and teaching it to others.
May Allah accept this effort as an act of worship from the student, his parents, and Utrujjah Academy, and may He place abundant blessings in it.
“And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?” — Qur’an 54:17
May the peace and blessings of Allah continue to be upon our Noble Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Yours in Islam,
