I attained the title of Hafiz-e-Quran from Jamia Rahmania Bashir Hat, West Bengal. Building on this, in 2024, I earned the degree of Moulana from Jamia Islamia Arabia, Amruha, U.P. These qualifications signify my expertise in Quranic memorization and Islamic studies, reflecting years of dedication and learning.
