Wisam Sharieff – Memorise Mentor – James’s Story

			Hi.
		

			My name is James
		

			student in the memorize Mentor Program. And I just like to talk about what I like about memorize
Mentor Program.
		

			What I liked most about it is that it's, I feel encouraged and I feel it's a positive program that's
not harsh in any way or negative. And I feel like we're song Sharif is, and COURAGING us as well to
be better people that are Muslims.
		

			It's not just about
		

			memorizing the Quran.
		

			And
		

			what helps for me in the program, as far as memorizing is going through the five doing all the five
steps that was I'm sure is recommended. And
		

			it
		

			doesn't always have me memorize right away just doing the five steps, but it definitely helps a
huge, huge deal and gets me definitely more familiar with it. So
		

			then, I guess what's different about this program that I like is that it's online. And the online
aspect as definitely supports me and I work full time and
		

			you know, I also exercise into my
		

			exercise activities. And then I also have family,
		

			to small children and wife to take care of. So it definitely helps having a more flexible program
that I can do things that in a timeframe that works for me. And
		

			I guess there's overall my experience in the program has been,
		

			as I said, positive.
		

			You know, sometimes I've struggled with, you know, balancing all that life has to offer, you know,
different things have come up during the program.
		

			But again, the program is flexible so that you can still manage those things. And I have so many
things for me, the big thing for me is that I am memorizing, memorizing the Quran. I spend every day
that I've been in the program, I've I've read or recited or did something but I've been in the Quran
so, you know, I'm proud of myself for you know, being someone being a Muslim that that reads the
Quran every day. And, you know, that makes that effort every day to get closer to Allah. So, thank
you and I appreciate you listening to me.
