LAHORE: A group of 30 individuals belonging to the transgender community in Lahore have completed their Quranic lessons and were gifted a copy of the Holy Quran upon the completion of their course.
The classes were initiated by Anusha Tahir Butt for a transgender welfare organisation and took a year to complete in Lahore’s Johar Town, during which Quranic lessons, as well as other Islamic education, were offered.
The completion of the course was marked by a prayer ceremony, during which copies of the Holy Quran were gifted to the participants. According to Butt, one of the reasons for the transgender community’s involvement in immoral activities was a distance from Islamic teachings.
As a result, he started the course, along with other classes, so that the community could benefit from the teachings.
The participants expressed their happiness and gratitude for being part of the course and were elated on its completion.
