Zahid, who chairs the National Tahfiz Council, highlighted the importance of AI, the digital economy and high technology in modernizing tahfiz education. He asserted that tahfiz graduates must receive support from the government, tahfiz institutions, universities, and industry to ensure smooth progression after completing their studies.
