This course is an online program in which the students attending the Tajwīd theory (TAJ100) course will be required to complete their ijāzah in tajwīd and Qur’ānic reading. The theory course is taught immediately before the ijāzah reading so that the students can easily sit through the theory course and immediately sit in the ijāzah reading instead of having any gap in between.
To receive an ijāzah, students must register in this course as well as the TAJ100 theory online course.
This course will follow the historical trajectory where the students will start in September learning about the History of the Qur’an and its recitation from the time of the Prophet and how the rules of Tajwid were created starting by the grammarians and to the codifiers of Tajwid.
After the first 4 months, Shaykh Uthman will follow the Book Nihāyat al Qawl al Mufīd, an exemplary and classical book of Tajwid to cover the remaining topics.
