Palestinian Writes Book for Quran Memorizers while in Israeli Jail
He wrote the book in an Israeli regime prison, despite the extensive restrictions in jail.
Ramzan has spent 23 years of his life in the occupiers’ prisons.
“(I spent twenty-three years in jail, a life full of details and stories, but thank God it passed quickly. I didn’t have time to think about life outside of prison. My day was spent studying, teaching and learning. If the occupiers hadn’t taken me prisoner, I wouldn’t have gotten out of prison with this book.”
The idea for this book arose from a real need that Mashahara personally experienced within his own family. When he and some of his colleagues began memorizing the Holy Quran, they faced significant difficulties with Mutashabih verses (verses of the Quran that are similar to one another).
This challenge prompted him to conduct thorough research and review books and publications until the concept of a special Quran for memorizers came to his mind. Over the course of ten years, he developed and refined this idea.
“I worked day and night, racing against time. During the first two years, I wrote notes on separate sheets of paper and distributed similar verses among different groups. Then, I began organizing and arranging them.
But the path was not easy, because his project was repeatedly threatened with confiscation by the Zionist regime prison authorities, who conducted surprise searches that could have led to the confiscation of his papers.
To overcome this problem, he started distributing the project papers among a number of prisoners, and to protect these papers, he made several copies.

Ramzan was not alone in this journey, and his wife, Umm Hamza, was instrumental in bringing the project to fruition, providing resources and references for him and taking scientific resources to the prison and distributing copies of it among the prisoners to make sure that it reached him.
He emphasized that his wife did the review, preparation and coordination, and even after the unveiling of the Quran, she oversaw the closing ceremony of the project and its distribution.
He also paid tribute to former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was martyred last year. When Sinwar was in prison, Ramzan learned the grammar and syntax of the Quran from him, which helped him understand the meanings of the Quran in a different way.
Ramzan hopes that his book will benefit all of those who want to memorize the Quran.
