For those devoted to mastering the recitation of the Holy Quran, this online course offers a truly remarkable opportunity. Through personalized one-on-one instruction, students will have the chance to attain the level of Itqan (perfection) by obtaining a continuous Sanad (chain of Quran reciters) directly linked to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
A Treasured Certificate Ijazah is a valuable certificate that empowers individuals to recite and teach the Quran using precise Tajweed. The primary goal of Ijazah is to preserve the authentic recitation of the Quran by establishing a verified chain of transmission tracing back to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), through the Angel Jibreel (peace be upon him), and ultimately to Almighty Allah, the original author. In simpler terms, Ijazah represents a recognition of excellence from a qualified teacher to a student who can flawlessly recite the Quran. This student is then eligible to grant Ijazah to others after evaluating their recitation. This tradition ensures the accurate transmission of the Quran to future generations, safeguarding it from any alteration or fabrication. Furthermore, Ijazah is the pinnacle of Quranic recitation, signifying the highest level of reading proficiency.
