"My name is Sheikh Ramadan Elsabagh, and I have been teaching the Quran in New York for 26 years. It is heartening to see Islamic schools and Quran academies opening everywhere. One such wonderful institution is the recently opened Elhaam Academy, an Islamic school that focuses on Quranic education. The results have been remarkable, with a 95% success rate in Quran studies. I urge parents to enroll their children in Islamic schools to raise them with a deep awareness of their faith.
