Bhatkal’s Syed Saleh Bin Mohammed Ilyas SM Completes Hifz Alongside Higher Education
Balancing his university studies in Malaysia with Quran memorisation, Syed Saleh successfully completes Hifz under the guidance of a Dubai based Imam.
Bhatkal, November 10, 2026 (Fikrokhabar): Syed Saleh Bin Mohammed Ilyas SM, son of well known businessman Syed Ilyas SM from the Nawayath community, has successfully memorised the Holy Quran while continuing his higher education.
Syed Saleh completed his early education in Dubai. After graduating, he moved to Malaysia to pursue higher studies in Finance and Accounting, where he is currently in his first year.
Alongside his academic journey, he remained committed to memorising the Holy Quran. He began his Hifz under the guidance of Hafiz Abrar, the Imam of his mosque in Dubai, and continued learning through online classes and regular guidance until he successfully completed the memorisation.
His achievement is particularly inspiring as he managed to balance the demands of university education with the dedication and discipline required to memorise the entire Quran.
By staying focused on both his academic and religious education, Syed Saleh has demonstrated that pursuing modern education and Islamic learning can go hand in hand.
Fikrokhabar extends its heartfelt congratulations to its well wisher Syed Ilyas SM, his son Syed Saleh, and their entire family on this blessed achievement.
Fikrokhabar also prays that Almighty Allah keeps the light of the Holy Quran alive in Syed Saleh’s heart, grants him the ability to understand and practise its teachings, and enables him to share its message with others.
May Allah bless him with continued success in both his religious and worldly pursuits. Ameen.
