The Qur’an is the basic and fundamental source of all Islamic teaching: It contains what and how to believe which religious duties how to perform. It contains the basic moral rules, as it contains the news of the past nations and their prophets.

Sarajevo, 23.10. 2011.The Qur’an has been preserved in full as it is from God released to Muhammad, aleyhisselam. In The Qur’an has not been modified anything, nothing is added or taken away. That he will remain until Judgment Day. And it will be, we've witnessed the Qur'an, because the Almighty Creator says this explicitly: '' Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.'' (Qur'an, Al-Hijra, 9)

When Muhammad, aleyhisselam, had begun receiving wahy, he immediately remembered those parts of it that are published. From his followers also sought what he has been released to record, but also to learn by heart. And once during the lifetime of Muhammad, the Qur’an was listed. Muhammad Rasulullah said what order will line up verses in Sura, and which Sura beyond which should stand. As he asked his followers to remember certain parts of the Qur’an, every Muslim is aware of at least some of the Qur’an by heart. There were back in the aleyhisselam 'time who knew the Qur’an by heart. But Muhammad Rasulullah, asked his followers to not only learn the Qur’an themselves, rather than to teach others. One of his hadith reads: he best among you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches others the Qur'an.

Travnik, 18. 12. 2011.For those who know the Qur’an by heart Prophet said that they are nobles of his followers: Leaders and nobles among my followers are those who memorize the Qur'an (hameletul - Qur’an ). Therefore, learn the Qur’an by heart is Sunnah, while many believe that it is the Muslims even fard kifaya, not the Sunnah.

Learning and memorizing the Qur’an by heart is called Hifzi. The one who learns memorized the Qur’an is called a hafiz, whereas before which an instructor teaches Hifzi is called muhaffiz.

And in our country, by the expansion of Islam soon began learning of the Qur’an by heart. Over time, the number of hafizes in our country became more numerous. Where some place was larger, and had a more religious and educational institutions (mektebs, madrassas, tekke and haniqahs), the number of people who knew the Qur’an by heart was bigger. From the extant documents, sigils, vakufnamas, idžazetnama (Diploma) and others, it is evident that during the Ottoman period in our country were hafizes in almost all places.

Promotion of Adis hfz. Baručić,
Bihać, 16. 01. 2010.Hafizes have always been appreciated and respected with us. If their morals and behavior were at a level the honor them was even higher.

It is our duty to strive to improve the status of Hifzes with us as much as possible, and that the number of hafizes in Bosnia and Herzegovina is multiplied. By this we extend our lovely tradition and at the same time follow the Sunnah of Muhammad, aleyhisselam.

Do not forget that the Prophet said: Leaders and nobles among my followers are those who memorize the Qur'an - Ešrafu ummeti hameletu-l Qur’an!
