Book excerpt:
One of the specific features of the honorable Qur`an is that it is a Book that can be committed to memory.
In Arabic this process is termed Hifz ul-Qur’an and the person who memorizes the Qur’an in its entirety is referred to as Hāfiz ul-Quran, which could be translated as the guardian of the Qur’an.
