This is a sub-article to Hafiz

This is a list of notable people who have completely memorized the Quran. Estimates of how many Hafiz (memorizers of the Quran) there have been range into the millions, across many ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographical divisions. This is not a representative sampling of Hafiz.

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
