Today is a great day for us. We are very pleased. We have completed the Quranic learning, and it is a source of pride,” the guide rejoiced.
Zara Compaoré, one of the learners, stated that she had spent 7 years with her Quranic teacher, Sheikh Issaka Ouédraogo, and was satisfied to have acquired knowledge in Islam.
She congratulated Sheikh Ouédraogo for his dedication throughout their training. Adama Ouédraogo, another learner, expressed gratitude to God for allowing him to complete his learning after at least 3 years with his teacher.
