This is the third 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 the 28th, 29th, and 30th Juz (sections) of the Qur’an (al-Mujadilah to Abasa). 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 this third course, the students will be introduced to the Science of Waqf & Ibtida (stopping & Commencing Recitation) in detail and the students will complete recitation of the 28th, 29th and the remainder of the 30th Juz from al-Mujadilah to Abas with Tajwīd.

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.  More information regarding the certificate is available here.

There will be separate live practice sessions for men and women. Sessions will be in small groups to facilitate a more effective learning environment.
