This is the second of four courses that constitute a complete Tajwid curriculum, the Jazari Certificate of Proficiency in Qur’anic Recitation. Students will learn more detailed rules of Tajwid and by the end of the course should be able to recite correctly 24 suras of 30th part of the Qur’an (al-Humaza to al-Takwir). Students whom the instructor feels have demonstrated sufficient mastery after successful completion of the four part series will receive the Jazari Certificate for Instruction (Ijazah) in Qur’anic Recitation.

Based on evidence from the Qur’an and Hadith, scholars have diligently preserved the correct method of reciting each and every letter of the classical Arabic language as well as all other aspects of recitation. ‘Allama Ibn Al-Jazari states, “Learning Tajwid is a mandatory duty of utmost importance. Whoever does not recite the Qur’an with Tajwid is a sinner.” In addition, without correct recitation, our prayers cannot attain the highest level of acceptance. In addition, without correct recitation, our prayers cannot attain the highest level of acceptance.
