The eight year old girl, qualified to teach the Quran

A Muslim schoolgirl from Luton has memorised the entire Quran and is now able to teach others the religious text.

Eight year old Maariya Aslam was awarded an Ijazah or Islamic certificate, which means she's reached a high standard in reciting and memorising the holy book.

The youngster - who already has a huge following on social media - is also planning a series of online tutorials.

Our reporter Shabnam Mahmood has been to meet her.
