Alhamdulillah Alfitrah Foundation has sponsored 10 Quran halaqah in G*za at Dar Al Quran in Khanyounis . Each group consists of 15 male or female students. They congregate and study in groups daily with a teacher leading them in memorising the Quran. May this give them strength to overcome the challenges they face living under genocide. May Allah keep them safe and protect them in their hours of difficulty. Insya Allah, they will always be in our dua’s.
