About the course
What Ten Qiraat covers
The Ten Qiraat Course teaches the ten canonical modes of Quranic recitation, each transmitted through an unbroken chain from the Prophet's companions to today's teachers. It is an advanced program for students who already recite with strong tajweed, usually in the reading of Hafs 'an 'Aasim, and now wish to study how the other authentic readings differ in pronunciation, elongation, and word forms.
Study begins with the framework of the science: what makes a reading canonical, the imams of the ten qiraat and their transmitters (ruwat), and the concept of usool, the recurring principles that distinguish one reading from another. Students then take up readings one at a time, beginning with those closest to what they already know, practising each until they can recite passages accurately in the new mode.
Because this discipline is transmitted person to person, every class is one-on-one with a teacher qualified in the qiraat being studied. Students recite, the teacher corrects to the standard of the transmission, and progress is logged reading by reading. Dedicated students may continue toward an Ijazah in one or more qiraat through our Ijazah Program.

Ten Qiraat: common questions
What are the ten qiraat of the Quran?
The ten qiraat are the canonical modes of recitation transmitted with unbroken chains from the Prophet, associated with ten early imams including 'Aasim, Naafi', and Ibn Katheer. They differ in pronunciation, elongation, and some word forms, while conveying the same revealed text.
What level do I need before joining this course?
You need fluent recitation with strong, consistent tajweed in at least one transmission, typically Hafs 'an 'Aasim. Completion of an advanced tajweed program, or an equivalent assessment in your trial class, is required, since the course analyses differences too fine for developing reciters to hear reliably.
How long does it take to learn all ten qiraat?
Studying all ten readings thoroughly takes several years, which is why the course is organised in stages. Most students spend twelve to eighteen months reaching solid competence in two or three transmissions first, then decide how far they wish to continue based on their goals.
Are the different qiraat different versions of the Quran?
No, they are transmitted modes of reciting the same revealed text, all traced to the Prophet through verified chains. The differences lie in pronunciation, elongation, and limited word forms, and scholars have documented them precisely for centuries. Your teacher explains each difference and its transmission as you study it.
