My friend ya_kadyrov writes in his journal:
"Ассаламу алайкум! Dear friends, I want to tell you a very joyful and important for me, my family and our people have a message – today the eldest son Ahmad became Hafiz! He studied the Quran by heart! Tomorrow evening, he will officially pass the exams before the most famous religious figures.. Ahmad is only seven years old……"
Something in my head does not fit such that a seven-year-old boy can memorize such a thick book. I remember learning rhymes at school, so while you learn a few lines, you can go crazy, and after a day or two it was completely forgotten. And here is a thick book, and not even rhyme, and a seven year old boy. I can't believe, for the life of me….
