يخطىء جدا من يظن أن تحفيظ القرآن للصغار يشغلهم أو يؤخرهم عن تحصيلهم المدرسي بل هو سبب مشهود في تفوق كثير منهم وتقدمهم
— أ.د. عاصم القريوتي Prof Dr Alqaryooti (@alqaryooti) May 14, 2014
Shaykh Dr. ‘Aasim al-Qaryooti said:
Very mistaken is he who thinks that encouraging children to memorise the Qur.aan preoccupies them or delays their achievement at school.
Rather, it is apparent that doing so is the [very] reason why many of them surpass and excel [at school].
