Bayrampaşa Yeşil Mosque Qur'an Course, which held a certificate ceremony by graduating 393 Hafiz the other day despite the difficult process, continues to raise generations that will serve Islam, the Qur'an and Muslims. At the ratification ceremony held in Arnavutköy Taşoluk Yeşil Mosque, the Hafizes received their ratifications from their teachers. The students, who received their licenses and gifts along ‘Reisü'l Kurra’ Mustafa Demirkan, had unforgettable moments.

“WE ARE AT THE SERVICE OF OUR PEOPLE”
Bayrampaşa Yeşil Mosque Association President Bahattin Ustaosmanoğlu, who started his speech by thanking those who contributed to the training of 393 Hafizes, teachers, parents and benefactors, said, “As the Yeşil Mosque, we have not been able to do our ratification for the last 7 years due to the pandemic and various reasons. Thankfully, we are able to do this today with a large participation. In fact, we have put our students at the service of our people so that they can serve under the Presidency of Religious Affairs. I hope to be able to sign many more ratifications. I would also like to invite our parents who want to see their children who have graduated from imam hatip schools as Hafiz who will be useful to their religion, country and nation. At this point, we are at the service of our people in an unlimited way, it has been known as the Yeşil Mosque since the 1960s.”
