I've never met a Hafiz. They said my uncle learnt 60 hizb from the Qur'an when he was young but I doubt it...

one thing i never get in non arabic speaking countires is why is "memorising" the quran considered Hafiz? I mean most of the time these guys who memorize quran dont even understand arabic. They are not understating the meaning of quran. They should not be considered hafiz
