Al Rashid Holy Qur'an Memorisation Centre is a community centre in Al Twar, Dubai, devoted to Hifz: memorising the Holy Qur'an. It sits in a new building beside Al Twar 2 Park, and teaches both children and adults, with separate seating for brothers and sisters throughout. For families with school-age children, the centre runs weekend classes in Qur'an memorisation and Islamic studies: Saturday and Sunday mornings from 8:00 to 12:00, plus Saturday from 16:00 to 20:00. There is also a Hifz for Children class from Monday to Thursday, 09:00 to 11:00. Teaching happens in Malayalam, English and Arabic at different times of day, so it suits Keralite families as well as English- and Arabic-speaking ones. Beyond classes, the centre holds Thafseer and hadith lectures open to all, runs free online Thafseer exams, and keeps Malayalam and English WhatsApp groups for updates. The centre publishes its weekly calendar online and notes that timings can shift slightly with Islamic Affairs approvals, so check the latest week before your first visit. Fees are not published; call the centre to ask.

The activity

Quran, explained

Qur'an memorisation, or Hifz, is the practice of learning the Qur'an by heart, a few lines at a time. In a typical class a child recites a new portion to a teacher, who listens closely and corrects pronunciation and flow, then the child goes back over earlier portions so they stay fresh. Alongside memorisation, many centres teach tajweed (the rules of recitation) and basic Islamic studies. It builds focus, a strong memory and careful listening, and gives children a steady weekly routine with a teacher who knows them. Children often begin once they are comfortable with Arabic letters; ask the centre about the starting age it uses.

Who it's for

Children and adults at all levels. The centre runs dedicated children's classes (weekend Qur'an memorisation and Islamic studies, and a weekday Hifz for Children class) and separate adult programmes, with separate seating for brothers and sisters. Exact age bands are not published: ask the centre. Families who speak Malayalam, English or Arabic are all catered for.

What to expect

Classes take place in the centre's classrooms in its building next to Al Twar 2 Park. Children's weekend sessions combine Qur'an memorisation with Islamic studies, and weekday Hifz classes run for two hours. The centre has separate seating for brothers and sisters. The centre does not publish details of a first session, an assessment, a trial class, fees or what to bring, so ask the provider when you call. Enrolment is by phone: the website's Enrol Now button dials +971 50 495 0511. It is worth joining the centre's WhatsApp group in your language, as that is where schedule changes are shared.
