Tajweed Curriculum

An integrated plan for reciting The Noble Qur’an

3194 already enrolled

Levels: 4
Prerequisites: Proficiency in Arabic or English

Summary

It is an interactive curriculum; starts by mentioning the phonetic base of the rule or the letter, and then spoken examples are given, to train the learner to distinguish the correct pronunciation from the wrong pronunciation, and to support the theoretical information that the learner acquires with mental maps, practical examples, interactive activities, and exercises.

Description

The recitation curriculum has four levels:

Level 1 Focus on mastering the letters of the Arabic Alphabet, including their sounds and shapes. Students train on distinguishing subtle differences between similar letters and their different forms depending on the position in the word. In addition, students can read words and sentences in full, thereby allowing them to read from the Quran (Mushaf) independently.

Level 2 Covers the basic rules of Tajweed (i.e. proper recitation of the Quran), including Noon Saakin, Tanween, Meem, Saakin, and some rules of Moodud (extended sounds), Ghunnah (nasal sounds), and Qalqalah (echoing sounds).

Level 3 Covers the complex rules of Tajweed in detail, including essential manners of reciting the Quran such as proper beginning and ending of a recitation, mandatory extensions and pauses during recitation, and letter-specific rules such as Izhaar and Ikhfa and relationship between them.

Level 4 Is a detailed application of all rules of Tajweed on two parts of the Quran covering all verses including (جزء عمَّ) Juz’ Amma and (جزء تبارك) Juz Tabarak. Students at this level perfect their recitation, analyze words and explain the rules of Tajweed in detail. In addition, students learn interconnections between recitation and the meaning of Surah and its vocabulary. After the recitation program, Students will be eligible to apply for the Ijazah Program.

Amazing place to learn Quran! The teachers are very friendly and engaging. Both my 10 and 8-year-old boys love it! They’ve really progressed in their tajweed and memorization mashaAllah. So glad IQRA Network was recommended to me! Support staff are very helpful and respond to any queries fast. We’re from Sydney so really appreciated IQRA staff going above and beyond to cater to my children’s needs and times. Love the use of Google chat to communicate between parent/child and teacher. Highly recommend.

I took Tajweed lessons through IQRA for about 8 months, 3 times per week. I was very happy with the quality of the instruction. Their teachers and support staff are professional and extremely helpful. I feel that I really benefited from my whole experience with IQRA and I will use their services again when my schedule allows. I have seen a drastic improvement in my recitation and I definitely recommend them to others who want to improve their Tajweed.
