The Ijazah Program prepares qualified students to earn an Ijazah, a traditional certificate authorising them to recite and teach the Quran, granted after reciting the entire Quran to a teacher who holds a sanad, an unbroken chain of transmission. Two tracks are offered: Ijazah in recitation from the mushaf with tajweed, and Ijazah in hifz for students reciting from memory.
The heart of the program is simple and demanding: the student recites, and the teacher listens with complete attention, holding every verse to the standard of the transmission. Sessions are strictly one-on-one, because an examiner cannot certify what they have not personally heard. Alongside recitation, students review the tajweed rule system and the etiquette and responsibilities that come with holding an Ijazah.
Candidates begin with an entrance assessment, then follow a recitation schedule that typically covers the full mushaf over one to two years. When the final review is complete, the teacher grants the Ijazah documenting the student's name within the chain of transmission, a certification recognised across the traditional Quran-teaching world.
