What does HAFIZ mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A Muslim who has memorized the entire Quran, or an honorific title given to such a person.
Becoming a hafiz means memorizing the full text of the Quran by heart, a considerable feat of study undertaken from childhood in many Islamic communities, and the word is used both as a plain description of that achievement and as a respectful title placed before a person's name. The same word is also the pen name of the celebrated Persian poet Hafiz, though as a common noun it refers to the achievement itself, not to any one person.
