Outstanding Student
I restarted my journey with the Quran in 2022. Prior to restarting, I had a finite amount of experience and struggled with things as simple as pronouncing the Arabic alphabet. When I started with Imam Khizer I was nervous and felt like giving up every time it got tough. But during those tough times, Imam Khizer would encourage me and affirm to me how far I have come and how close I was getting to my ultimate goal. Since starting, I now know how to pronounce the alphabet correctly, I learned how to implement the ruling of tajweed such as madd stretches, Idgham, Shada, and Qalala, into my Quranic recitation, and have memorized the entirety of Juz Amma all within a short time. All of this was possible by firstly the Will of Allah and the excellent teaching and guidance of Imam Khizer. Although I am nowhere near where I would like to be, I am confident that by staying consistent with Imam Khizer, success will surely be inevitable.
