Sheikh Zakzaky arrives in Iran for medical treatment

While still learning the Quran under his father, he also attended another Quranic school in his neighborhood. He also accompanied his father alongside his brothers to the farm to give a helping hand.

It is a laid down principle in Sheikh Zakzaky’s family that a child should first memorize the Quran by heart before being allowed to learn other Islamic books from other learned scholars. The Sheikh memorized the holy Quran at 14 and soon after that he began to learn other Islamic books from his father, his mother and other well learned scholars in his hometown, Zaria.
