Mangaluru, Dec 27: Memorizing the holy book of Quran is challenging in its own way. But this 13-year-old daughter of U T Khader, the minister for food, civil supplies and consumer affairs in government of Karnataka, has inspired all by remembering the entire book by heart at an early age.
Hawwa Naseema began memorizing the holy book from the age of 11 and within two years, she's learned it all. The holy Quran has 114 beautiful chapters and powerful 6,236 verses.
Though she opted to lead a simple life and avoid publicity, Hawwa has emerged as a celebrity not only among Muslim community but also in the entire Karnataka, thanks to her achievement.
Video clips of Hawwa's Quran recitation started going viral on social media ever since she was formally conferred theHafizah' title at a convocation ceremony held at TMA Pai International Convention Centre in the city on December 24.
Thousands of netizens belonging to different faiths have hailed Hawwa's achievement. Inspired by her, many social media users have vowed to encourage their daughters to memorise the holy book.
The story behind Hawwa's achievement is touching: Khader sent Hawwa to learn the Quran to keep a vow he made near the Kaaba in Makkah, after the girl was lost in the crowd during the Haj pilgrimage a few years ago.
Interestingly, it was also the wish of Hawwa to discontinue material education after Class V and began Islamic studies. Despite being the only daughter of a prominent minister, Hawwa preferred to stay in a hostel to mingle with poor and orphaned children and understand their difficulties.
Initially, Hawwa joined an Islamic course at Madrasathul Bayan, Adkathbail, in Kasragod district of Kerala. Later, she joined Tanfeezul Quran Women's College at Konaje in Mangaluru Mangaluru. Al Hafiza Sumayya is her teacher at the institute, which is headed by Hafiz Muhammed Ziyad Nadvi from Thiruvananthapuram.
Hawwa has higher goals. She intends to pursue an Islamic course in a well-known university like the Islamic University of Madinah and then set up a religious education institution to help those who want to pursue Islamic studies.
The student-activist, who was allowed to talk on stage, suddenly raised pro-Pakistan slogans. She was arrested by police after All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi snatched her mike.

Mr.Nagesh,
You are curious about the future of this child. It is clear in the news item above regarding her plan. She may give spiritual dose of medicine to, particularly, woman folk ,thereby try to spread peace to the people. Ultimately ,the purpose of human existence is to obey the Creator,spread humanity , and lead a peaceful life.Finally,as everyone knows, we have to give our account to our creator.Hope you understand.
Absolutely no problem or restriction for women in Islam either in claiming rightful share in her father's property or acquiring knowledge, leading the community, assuming any responsible position or doing any activity under the sun that are permitted by Islamic Law. Sister Hawwa has already set her goal to be the Head of the Islamic Institution and impart knowledge, we pray Allah (God) to grant her success and be a role model to other kids.
Masha Allah !!! Wonderful news. Many Congratulations to sister Hafiza Hawwa and her parents.
Priceless treasure...... Indeed, how greatly Allah has blessed you. What a priceless treasure you have been granted.
The entire world, together with all its wealth and riches, cannot match even one verse of the Qur'an you have in your heart, let alone the entire Qur'an. What a wealth!! Subhanallah.
You have became a special person of Allah.
May Allah Ta'ala bless you.
The next steps commanded are
- Understand its meaning,
- Follow its teaching
- Share with others as much as possible, regardless their background from which faith they are. This is difficult job, but possible with HIKMATH and DIPLOMACY.
It is hard truth, because Islam has come for guidance for all, not just for Muslims only. So it belongs to all people. It is everybody's right to know and duty to know.
May God help us to learn the truth and practice it.
MAA SHAA ALLAH
Masha Allah! Mabrook! May Allah SWT Shower his blessings towards this little Hafizah and her entire family and also her well-wishers, Ameen!
Mash Allah.
Good to learn that the child is doing something not on Mobiles or iPads. But what next for this girl child? Can she become a Moulvi for Muslim men when she grows or a Khai? Does Islam provide this liberty to girls? Can the readers show some light on this?
Masha Allah ....All the Best....lucky parents ...
One of the rare qualities of Hafizah Hawwa Naseema is that she does not wear any gold ornaments. However, she was given a golden finger ring during the convocation by her institute. The institute gives golden ring to all the females who complete Hifz (memorizing Quran). This is the first and the only ornament worn by Hawwa.
May allah subhanahutala Give you success in duniya and aqirah. Also Save you from Shirk and all types of Biddaths. Ameen
May allah accept your hard work. You are a role model to all muslims.
Masha Allah, \HAFIZA\" Hawwa, Wish you all the best for your future endeavours and higher goul"
Mashaa Allah..Subhanallah
Masha allaha May allah Accept
