Those nearest have the first claim

Read and Rise

Sponsoring circles of Quran memorisation.

About the initiative

Reviving the principle that those nearest have the first claim: support for circles of Quran memorisation through a fit place to learn, backing for teachers and students, and the materials they need — close to home, and building a community whose mark is generosity.

What it sets out to do

  • Spreading and strengthening the memorisation of the Quran in the community.
  • Backing the teachers, and encouraging those who memorise with prizes.
  • Finding and nurturing talent.
  • Planting Islamic values in the young.

Progress so far

More than 100 Quran circles sponsored so far.

The difference it makes

By the Quran we rise, and in memorising it we build generations.
