For the first time in the history an ethnic Ukrainian woman learned the entire Quran by heart from the first to the last letter (i.e. the Arabic original of Quranic text) and successfully passed the exam to the commission headed by a connoisseur of sacred texts Sheikh Haidar al-Haj.The first Muslim woman of Ukraine to receive the title of Hafiza is a native of the city Striy, Lviv region – Vira Fryndak.

"The rank of Hafiza is a great honor and is highly respected in the Muslim world, this title allows men to be imams at a mosque and teachers in madrasas, women can also be teachers in the female madrasas, and be spiritual mentors teaching the Koran to their students. In the modern history of Ukraine only men have been hafizes previously , mainly - the Crimean Tatars", commented on his Facebook page Mufti Said Ismagilov.
