The Procession of the Boy who learnt the Qur'an

theprocessionoftheboywholearntthequran.jpg

In the past, it was a habit to honour the boy who

learnt the Qur'an by heart. The school ordered its

pupils to serve him and accompany him while roaming

- with his mother or one of his relatives - the western

and eastern houses of the rich people and collecting

money which would be given to the Sheikh as

a remuneration for teaching him the Qur'an.
