    Memorizing the Holy Quran and teaching Arabic and English
    In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to God. The Arabic language and Islamic sciences are worldly sciences, and a Muslim must be familiar with them and know them so that his life can be straightened out by memorizing the Holy Qur’an and learning the Arabic language. I am also good at teaching Arabic to foreigners and teaching English to beginners.
