Synopsis

Our ‘Quran Ijaza Program’ is the crown jewel of our Dar al-Qur'an faculty, as we aim to connect seasoned Qurra (well-establish reciters of the Quran) back to the Prophet through an unbroken chain of transmission.

Building upon our flagship Tajweed Masterclass syllabus, students will major in Quranic recitation, as they are exposed to the mastery of reading the Majestic Quran with perfect decorum, articulation, and with the best of intonation.

Admissions

"The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it..." {Sahih al-Bukahri}

Who is This Course For

This course is aimed at students with extensive and seasoned experience with the science of Qur'anic recitation.

Admissions Requirements

Admission for all Essential Islam courses are administered by our course facilitation team. Applications for the ‘Quran Ijaza Proram' must be submitted through our online portal: simply click the 'enrol now' button and fill out the application form. If required, all supplemental materials will be requested in the form of an audio note using WhatsApp by the course administrator.

Students will be expected to demonstrate an excellent understanding of the rules of Tajweed and their application, whilst possessing exceptional fluency and flow when reciting the Glorious Qur'an.

Students may also be assessed on an individual basis through their application, through a variety of methods, including a reference request, a personal statement, an interview, and a passage reading from the Book of Allah.

Attendance is mandatory, students will be withdrawn from the programme for a lack of commitment, whether that is for missing three lessons or, three homework submissions being late or missed, or consistently being late to class.

Cohorts and Deadlines

The programme is offered once per year. The next cohort starts on the 5th September 2023.

Early Admission Deadline: 1st August 2023.

We encourage applications to be submitted before the early deadline, as we anticipate a high volume of applications for this course.

Programme

One of the rights that the Qur'an has over us is that it must be read with measured recitation, where each letter is cleary distinguished, and where the recitor is familiar with the rules that govern Qur'anic recitation.

Curriculum

The ‘Quran Ijaza Program' is an intensive, on-going part-time programme, delivered and structured throughout the year. The teaching schedule is flexible and is centred around the student's commitments and availability.

The syllabus has been structured and tailored for a modern-day audience, in an age of technological advancements and tools that were not readily available only a decade ago. We aim to use visual and auditory aids coupled with a traditional syllabus - taught and perfected over almost a century ago - to maximise learning proficiency for our students.

Students will be receiving a prolific education in the recitation of Holy Qur’an that is parallel to many of the great syllabi around the globe.

Core specialisations are focused on developing a meaningful relationship with the Majestic Qur'an, so much so, that it becomes intrinsic to the student's daily life, thereby ensuring students not only honour the Holy Book, but also are a means of it's preservation.

The course also expands on the nuances of the Arabic language, phonetics and articulation, the correct pronunciation of Arabic terms, practice-based learning, and reciting (tilawah) the Majestic Qur'an with tartil (i.e. with hymnody and no haste).

Structure & Delivery

There are 80 sessions allocated to students over a two-year teaching period. Students will be able to select times that suit them.

Awards and Accreditation

"And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?" {54:17}

Through the 'Quran Ijaza' course students will develop a wide range of skills, underpinned by knowledge of the traditional discipline of reciting the Holy Qur’an with the perfect elocution and enunciation. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of the Quran's meaning and significance, as they acquire a strong connection to the Prophet through an unbroken chain of transmission (sanad).

The ijaza (classical authorisation/license to transmit) will be awarded upon the successful completion the course at the behest of the instructor.

The length of time it takes to complete our Ijazah program can vary depending on the student's individual aptitude and commitment. However, most programs will require at least a two years of study.
