Ustaz means teacher in Arab. It is not exclusive. Same goes with PU. Wanna be a good person? stop instigating hate and help spread awareness and truth. Bad and good people comes from all different background. Focus on the meat rather than the skin. Thanks for your time reading this PSA.

I tot PU are those ppl competed on the show "Pencetus Ummah"?

The shooter not just same fake ustaz, he is a tahfiz, not many can become tahfiz, many failed their brain just not good enough in memorization. Yes it's pure memorization on steroids, no arithmetic and logical reasoning

To become hafiz it requires you to memorize whole quran word for word including the grammar

ustaz is not actually a title. its actually another name for 'teacher'. in islam ustaz specifically teaches religious topics. normally you need to be recognize to hav studied or proven knowledge of what you supposed to be teaching. in school, if you are teaching islamic subject you automatically called an ustaz/ustazah althoug you could really just be teaching from school text books.

in the old days an ustaz/ustazah is highly respected bcoz they are mostly very knowledgeable and have highly good manners. sadly today it became a title that are give just to anyone.

Yes, after you finish whole book need to go syahadah, which is recite whole book without mistake infront of other certified tahfiz to get a certification

Not sure about test retaking

Tahfiz and ustaz are different field, tahfiz will go become Iman masjid or pray doa in majlis, ustad is a teacher that teach religion. But you can be both also no one stop you.

Tahfiz also can choose become doctor and engineer or business man. Some did

If you are planning to teach at government or state schools..yes you need. SPM, religiois qualification somewhere, arabic..

If you want to organise talks at mosques and suraus, you also need approval.
