MAS Quran Institute (MQI) is Under Way
With the Grace of Allah SWT, a new addition to the SW youth
center programs and projects have been initiated last week. We
humbly thank Allah SWT for His blessings of helping us to start
our MAS Houston Quran Institute. As of today, we have close to
140 people signed up to be included in the program; close to 70
students have already been placed in classes. All applicants had
to go through an evaluation process to be placed in the right
levels. Currently the MAS Youth Center is hosting 21 Quran
classes on a weekly basis. Last Saturday was the first class
meeting for the Quran institute. Currently, we have 5 part time
specialized teachers who are well known as professionals in the
field of teaching the Holy Quran. We are honored to have Dr.
Main Al-Qudah, Br. Fayez Ghwari, Sr. Eyman Al-Qudah, Sh. Abdel
Aowal, and Br. Nouh Faris as our Quran institute teachers.
We encourage everyone to take advantage of enrolling in the
first of its kind program in the city of Houston. The program
offers tajweed, recitation, memorization, and Arabic classes to
all ages, all levels, brothers and sisters.
