I grew up learning and speaking Arabic so it brings me joy that I can pass on this knowledge about the language of the holy Quran. As the prophet (PBUH) said, “The best amongst you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it to others”. I love teaching the Quran and Duas because I receive good rewards for myself and my wonderful students. It is also to increase my own knowledge.

Hf. Mashfih Chowdhury
Student at Darul Uloom New York. Completed my memorization of the Quran there and am currently in the Alim Course program. HIC is a wonderful community to be a part of and I enjoy my time as a teacher here. I enjoy inspiring students to be the best version of themselves and at the same time help them cope with everyday issues they may face in school. Teaching Quran and Tajweed is something that I enjoy as I feel that all students should have level of reciting Quran in younger years rather than later on in life when they become busy and occupied in other affairs.
