HAFIz Mahfuz Haque

Co-Founder & Assistant Director

Growing up in Detroit at a young age, I had the fortune of being able to memorize the Quran and study under an amazing teacher. I remember telling my friends at school to join me in doing Hifz, but the first question they’d always ask was, “Well, how much does it cost?” Becoming hafiz is a very challenging yet rewarding process and I wished my closest friends were right there with me. As time passed, I became thankful for this blessing, however, I realized that memorizing the Quran was a privilege, a privilege that many couldn’t afford. When I started teaching, this was truly noticeable. While our masjid thankfully took in those who couldn't pay, it seemed like we were doing these students a favor. Additionally, many parents never even asked for this favor because to them, it was shameful. A person’s youth is the best time to learn the Quran, but many, like my friends, have never given Hifz a thought. This pleasure of reciting the Quran from any ayah, at any time, was unknown to so many and why... because of money. Having a chance to memorize the Quran should be every child's basic right. After reaching out to my closest friends, I realized it was possible to create a system to address this need in the form of AccessQuran.

Assalamualaikum, my name is Abid Imam, I am 21 years old and currently attending my last year at Wayne state university. I am pursuing my degree in chemical engineering and hope to be done soon! Joining aQ was a no brainier for me. Quran is something we should live by and follow. I was able to complete my memorization through the hifz program in Tawheed center Farmington Hills alhamdulillah. I believe it impacts your personality and how you live your life. Quran is something that should be accessible to everyone which is what aQ is striving to do. I will be assisting in the admissions aspect of aQ and am excited for you to start your journey with the Quran.

I was asked by a close friend to be apart of building this program, but initially, I assumed it was something else. Alhamdulillah found out later that this would be a hifz program, free for anyone currently or wanting to memorize the Quran. I dedicate myself to stay on board and help grow Access Quran into something big because my little brother is a huffaz Alhamdulillah. Fortunately, we were able to pay the hifz fees at our masjid, but seeing how much it was for my parents to spend on his classes each month, no doubt in my mind there are parents who are finically unable to support their kids in becoming a hafiz. With the help of AccessQuran, we can help change that and give their kids the opportunity to start or continue with there hifz to become a future huffaz inshAllah!!

Salaam! My name is Saim Rehman and am a native of Southeast Michigan. I currently am an engineering student at Wayne State University and am an active member of various youth groups in the area. I joined accessQuran with the hope of assisting in the creation of a platform that would enable all individuals - regardless of background - to pursue their goal of memorizing the Holy Quran, and eventually becoming positive influences within their own respective communities. I plan on helping with logistics and marketing, and promotion of the accessQuran platform.

Assalamualaikum, I am a rising senior attending Cass Technical High School. I am also focusing on Islamic Studies to enhance my knowledge about my faith. Upon graduation, I intend to study public health in the coming years. I remember my teacher emphasizing to me that the opportunity to memorize the Quran should be a right, not a privilege. His words resonated with me as I saw my parents work relentlessly to ensure me and my brothers could purse hifz. As we glance through our current community many families, especially immigrant families, do not have that privilege of sending their kids to further their islamic knowledge. Through AccessQuran, I hope we can help eliminate the need to be privileged in order to purse islamic education, specifically memorizing the Quran. I hope this initiative develops many huffaz and leaders in our communities.
