Drawing on data from field research in Morocco, Yemen, and Nigeria, the author suggests that Qur'anic memorization is a process of embodying the divine--the words of God--and as such is a far more learner-oriented and meaningful process than is typically described. She argues, furthermore, that the mission of contemporary Qur'anic schooling, with Qur'anic memorization at its core, is concerned with developing spirituality and morality as well as with providing an alternative to public education, when the availability and quality of public schooling is limited

We present an insight into the characterising concepts of Islamic pedagogy that is represented by the interplay between memorization, orality and the use of the written word in supporting knowledge acquisition. These relationships are viewed as being distinctive to Islam through the Arabic cultural heritage in relation to the emphasis on the spoken word and the Islamic belief in relation to prophecy.
