A 7-year-old Saudi boy has completed the memorisation of all verses in the Quran and his tutor describes him as one of his most talented pupils.

Ahmed Yaqoot joined a Quran-learning centre in a mosque when he was five years old before his father took him to an official Quran memorization centre. He is now dubbed “the youngest Quran memoriser” in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah.

“After nearly two years, he succeeded in memorizing the whole Holy Koran,” his father said, quoted by ‘Saqb’ Arabic language daily.

The paper quoted his tutor Mohammed Ali as saying Ahmed is “one of the most attentive and talented pupils I have had”.

“I am happy to be called the youngest Quran Memorizer in Jeddah,” Ahmed said, adding that his wish in life is to become a doctor.
