Royyana Hafidz Qur'an Indonesia 2025
The Tradition of Presenting Role Models of Quran Memorizers
The YAHQI Islamic Boarding School continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing a strong and noble generation of Quranic scholars. One consistent step is to directly invite inspirational figures from among those who have memorized the Quran.
After previously welcoming Aida (1st Place in the 2018 Indonesian Hafidz Competition) and Aqeela (1st Place in the 2021 Indonesian Hafidz Competition), now it is the turn of Ukhti Royyana, a finalist in the 2025 Indonesian Hafidz Competition, to be present among the YAHQI students.
A Meaningful Sunday
Sunday, May 11, 2025, was a day full of joy and blessings at the YAHQI Islamic Boarding School. Ukhti Royyana was present with her beloved family: her mother, father, and older brother—who has also memorized 30 chapters and mastered the Ten Qiraat.
Despite still being in third grade, Royyana has already memorized 15 chapters of the Quran. Her perseverance and love for the Quran are a lasting example for her students.
Simple Family, Noble Ideals
What's most inspiring is Royyana's family background. Her mother and father didn't come from a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) or formal religious education. However, with strong determination and constant prayer, they succeeded in guiding their children to become Quran memorizers.
In a sharing session, Umi Royyana shared her struggles guiding her children from home. With patience and loving closeness, she accompanied her children as they memorized the Quran from scratch.
The Key to Success: Persistence and Regular Practice
Umi Royyana shared several simple but meaningful practices: getting used to tahajjud from an early age, accompanying daily murojaah, creating a Qur'anic home atmosphere, and increasing prayer and faith.
Royyana herself is used to waking up at night to pray tahajjud. "Umi always wakes me up and accompanies me," she said innocently—but it touched the hearts of her listeners.
A Shockingly Plain Answer
In the question and answer session, a student asked, "What is Ukhti Royyana's motivation for memorizing the Qur'an?"
With a calm face, Royyana answered:
"To become Allah's family."
That simple answer silenced the room for a moment. Nothing is more beautiful than a child's sincere intention to draw closer to God through the Quran.
Umi Royyana also said,
"Be steadfast. Be confident. Once you're part of God's family, there's nothing to fear. God will protect and guide our lives."
Close and Real Inspiration
This activity is a concrete manifestation of the YAHQI Islamic Boarding School's commitment to presenting inspirational figures for the students — life role models who can be seen, greeted, and emulated directly.
Because we believe that when students interact directly with successful memorizers of the Qur'an, their enthusiasm will grow deeper, and their faith will become stronger to continue fighting with the Qur'an.
