A Hafiz-ul-Quran Building Lives Through Faith, Knowledge & Ethical Action
Shamoil Ali, born in 2006, is a Hafiz-ul-Quran who completed the memorization of the entire Quran Majeed in 2024 at the age of 18. His journey was not one of privilege or ease—it was shaped by profound challenges that tested his resolve and deepened his faith.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, his formal studies were severely disrupted. Like countless students worldwide, he faced isolation, uncertainty, and the loss of structured learning. But for Shamoil, the challenges extended far beyond academics. He confronted significant health obstacles, financial pressures that weighed heavily on his family, and moments of deep confusion about his path forward.
At crucial turning points, when guidance was most needed, it was often absent. Yet through every trial, he made a conscious choice: to anchor himself in the Quran. This wasn't merely about memorization—it was about finding purpose, healing, and direction in the divine words that have guided believers for fourteen centuries.
Today, Shamoil Ali stands as a testament to what steadfast effort and tawakkul (trust in Allah) can achieve. His journey from struggle to spiritual triumph informs every lesson he teaches, every student he mentors, and every life he touches through the Quran.

The path to becoming a Hafiz-ul-Quran is never accidental—it is divinely orchestrated, filled with moments of grace that reveal themselves only in retrospect. For Shamoil Ali, this sacred journey began at Galiyakot – Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed Mazar, a place steeped in spiritual significance and devotion.
He completed his Hifz in Surat, blessed to study under the saya (spiritual shade) of the 7 Duat Mutlakeen. This spiritual lineage and environment provided not just academic instruction, but a living connection to centuries of Quranic scholarship and devotion. The discipline, the early morning reviews, the careful articulation of each ayah—all took place in an atmosphere charged with reverence and dedication.
Memorized the entire Quran at the age of 18 years through unwavering discipline and daily commitment
The first Hafiz of Bhestan Mahad-ud-Zahar Branch in Surat—a historic milestone
The first Hafiz in his family in at least five generations, fulfilling a sacred aspiration
Now teaching at the same institution where he completed his Hifz—a beautiful full circle
His journey fulfilled the heartfelt wish of Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin (TUS): 'At least one Hafiz in every house of the Bohra community.' Through dedication and divine grace, Shamoil Ali became that light for his family."
What makes his achievement even more remarkable is that he returned to teach at the very Mahad where he became a Hafiz. This continuity—from student to teacher, from learner to guide—embodies the beautiful Islamic tradition of knowledge transmission. He doesn't just teach the Quran; he lives the values it instills, creating a bridge between generations and inspiring others to embark on their own journeys of memorization.
During his Hifz journey, Shamoil Ali faced profound personal losses that would test the faith of anyone. These weren't abstract trials—they were the kind of heart-wrenching experiences that reshape a person's entire worldview.
He lost his little sister, a pain that no words can adequately capture. The innocence of childhood, the laughter that once filled his home—suddenly absent. Later came the passing of his grandmother (his mother's mother), followed by his grandfather (his father's father). Each loss carved deep wounds, each funeral prayer a reminder of life's fragility.
Many would have abandoned their goals in the face of such grief. The weight of loss can make even simple daily tasks feel insurmountable, let alone the demanding discipline of Quranic memorization. Yet for Shamoil Ali, these experiences didn't break him—they transformed him in unexpected ways.
Grief drove him closer to the divine, finding solace in the very words he was memorizing. The Quran became not just a text to learn, but a companion in sorrow.
Loss forced him to confront life's deepest questions at a young age, developing wisdom and perspective beyond his years.
The verses about patience, loss, and reunion in the afterlife were no longer abstract—they were personal, real, and profoundly meaningful.
This lived experience is what makes Shamoil Ali an exceptional teacher. He understands the student who comes to class grieving. He recognizes when a child needs gentleness rather than pressure. He knows firsthand that the Quran isn't just memorized with the mind—it's embraced with the heart, especially during life's darkest moments. His patience isn't theoretical; it's earned through his own journey through loss, sabr (patience), and ultimate triumph.
When asked why he teaches the Quran, Shamoil Ali's answer is rooted not in ambition, but in understanding a profound spiritual truth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it." This hadith isn't merely motivational—it establishes teaching the Quran as one of the highest callings a Muslim can pursue.
For Shamoil, teaching Quran represents Sadaqah Jariyah—continuous charity whose rewards flow long after the act itself. When a student memorizes an ayah and recites it years later, when they teach it to their own children, when those verses provide comfort during difficult times—the teacher shares in that ongoing reward. It's an investment in eternity, a ripple effect of goodness that extends far beyond the classroom.
Teaching is the ultimate form of review. Every lesson reinforces his own memorization, every question from students deepens his understanding, every correction sharpens his precision. The act of teaching keeps his Hifz strong, his connection to the Quran active and alive.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that when people gather to recite the Quran, sakinah (tranquility) descends, mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those near Him. Every class becomes a sanctuary of peace and blessing.
Teaching the Quran is not a profession for Shamoil Ali—it is a trust, an amanah, and a lifelong mission. He carries the weight of this responsibility with humility, knowing that he is not merely teaching words, but helping others build a relationship with divine revelation.
"When you teach the Quran, you're not just transferring information—you're helping someone develop a lifelong companion, a source of guidance that will illuminate their path through every joy and challenge they face."
This understanding transforms the student-teacher relationship into something sacred. Shamoil Ali doesn't see himself as superior to his students; rather, he views himself as a fellow traveler on the path, someone who has walked ahead and now extends his hand to help others along the same journey. His classroom is not a place of pressure or performance anxiety—it's a space of growth, encouragement, and spiritual development.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Shamoil Ali's life is his commitment to balance—a principle deeply rooted in Islamic teaching. The Quran itself instructs believers: "And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah." (62:10)
Alongside teaching Hifz, Shamoil Ali runs multiple ethical businesses under Eglare Solutions. This isn't a contradiction to his spiritual calling—it's an extension of it. His approach to business embodies Quranic principles: honesty in transactions, transparency in dealings, excellence in service, and genuine care for customer welfare.
This financial independence serves a crucial purpose: it allows him to teach Quran with pure intention. He doesn't teach because he needs to; he teaches because he wants to. This distinction matters profoundly. His livelihood doesn't depend on student numbers or tuition fees, which means every lesson comes from a place of genuine desire to serve, not financial necessity.
Every business venture adheres strictly to Islamic principles—no interest, no exploitation, no questionable income sources. His wealth is earned through honest effort and ethical practice.
The same values he teaches from the Quran—integrity, fairness, kindness—are reflected in how he conducts business. His professional life and spiritual life are seamlessly integrated.
He demonstrates to the younger generation that you don't have to choose between worldly success and spiritual devotion. With proper intention and ethical conduct, both can coexist beautifully.
This balance reflects a mature Islamic worldview: dunya without losing akhirah (worldly life without sacrificing the hereafter), leadership without arrogance, and success with humility. Shamoil Ali embodies the prophetic model—the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was himself a businessman before revelation, and many of the companions balanced trade with scholarship. In following this example, Shamoil Ali shows that piety isn't about withdrawal from the world, but about engaging with it ethically, purposefully, and with constant awareness of Allah.
For Shamoil Ali, becoming a Hafiz-ul-Quran was not a destination—it was a beginning. His thirst for knowledge extends far beyond Quranic memorization into the realms of human psychology, personal development, and holistic guidance. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Psychology, driven by a desire to understand not just what people learn, but how they learn, what motivates them, and what obstacles they face.
This interdisciplinary approach positions him uniquely in the field of Quranic education. He's not just teaching memorization techniques—he's applying evidence-based understanding of memory, motivation, emotional regulation, and learning styles to create more effective, compassionate teaching methods.
Pursuing credentials to help students not just memorize Quran, but develop confidence, resilience, and life skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
Studying Neuro-Linguistic Programming to better understand communication patterns, remove mental blocks, and help students overcome limiting beliefs about their memorization abilities.
Deep diving into what drives human behavior, decision-making, and habit formation—knowledge that directly enhances his ability to guide students of all ages and backgrounds.
But his pursuits aren't limited to formal academics. Shamoil Ali is also a promising photographer, using the camera lens as a tool for reflection, creativity, and capturing beauty in everyday moments. This artistic sensibility informs his teaching—he understands that learning isn't purely mechanical, that beauty and creativity have their place in education, and that seeing the world from different perspectives enriches understanding.
Shamoil Ali is not only a teacher of the Quran—he is becoming a guide for the mind, heart, and character. His vision extends beyond memorization to holistic human development.
This commitment to continuous learning demonstrates intellectual humility—the recognition that no matter how much one knows, there is always more to discover. For his students, this is incredibly reassuring. They're learning from someone who himself remains a student, someone who approaches life with curiosity rather than claiming to have all the answers. This growth mindset is contagious, inspiring students to view their Hifz journey not as a rigid requirement, but as an opportunity for continuous personal evolution.

Shamoil Ali knows what it feels like to struggle with a particularly difficult surah. He understands the frustration of forgetting verses you thought you'd mastered. He recognizes the fear that whispers, "Maybe I'm not capable of this." But he also knows—from lived experience—that with the right guidance, proper methodology, sincere effort, and trust in Allah, the seemingly impossible becomes achievable.
