Al Sahaba Center for Quraan Memorization
About Al Sahaba Center for Quraan Memorization
Al Sahaba Center for Quraan Memorization (مركز الصحابة لتحفيظ القرآن الكريم) is a Quran memorisation centre on 24B St in Mirdif. Please note before you plan anything: Google lists it as temporarily closed. Its old web address now opens as Al-Ashab Institute for Languages, which teaches Arabic and other languages, and the Quran centre's own pages there were last updated in 2022. Those pages say the idea for the centre began in 1997 among a group of young people in Dubai, and that it held licence number 33. They describe memorisation circles for boys and girls, young and old, Arabs and non-Arabs, alongside Arabic calligraphy and Arabic for non-native speakers. Older notices on the site mention online memorisation sessions and weekend morning circles on Fridays and Saturdays, but they carry no dates. So treat this as a record of what the centre offered, and call to check whether classes have restarted.
The activity
Quran, explained
Quran memorisation, often called hifz, is the step-by-step learning of the Quran by heart. Children usually sit in a small circle, or halaqa, with a teacher. Each child recites the portion they have been learning, the teacher corrects pronunciation and the rules of recitation (tajweed), and a new portion is set for practice at home. Regular revision of earlier parts is just as important as learning new verses. Beyond memorising, circles build concentration, confident Arabic reading and a daily routine. Many children start with short chapters from about five or six, once they can recognise Arabic letters, and progress at their own pace.
Who it's for
The centre's pages (last updated 2022) describe memorisation for boys and girls, children and adults, Arabs and non-Arabs. No age bands are published. Google currently lists the centre as temporarily closed, so ask the centre whether any classes are running.
What to expect
The centre's pages describe Quran memorisation with a qualified teacher, plus Arabic calligraphy and Arabic for non-native speakers. They also mention transport for students to and from the centre, gifts and prizes, and recreational and cultural trips, but these pages were last updated in 2022 and Google now lists the centre as temporarily closed. Undated notices on the site mention online memorisation sessions and a weekend morning circle on Fridays and Saturdays. Current timings, fees, trial policy and whether circles run in person or online are not published: ask the centre.
