Hafiz

Hafiz or Hafez (Arabic:حافظ) is a term used by Muslims for people who have completely memorised the Qur'an. Those who are entitled to use the word are tested for the accuracy of their recall by being asked to continue the reading of a passage taken randomly from the Qur'an.

Number of Hafiz currently in the world are estimated by some to be more then 10 million.
