Quran Memorization Ijazah
The Quran Memorization Ijazah is a supervised and systematic approach to memorizing the Quran. This program constitutes one-on-one reading and memorizing of the whole Quran by heart with an instructor. There are no set limits on how many pages are read daily or weekly, this will be determined between the student and the instructor on an individual basis. A sanad (a chain of trustworthy narrators traced back to the Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) is provided upon the completion of the program.
Quran Recitation Ijazah
The Quran Recitation Ijazah is similar to the Memorization Program in the ways of one-on-one instruction and no limitation daily/weekly reading. However, this program allows the reciter to read from the Mushaf. This is a way to certify that you can recite the Quran accurately in the way that Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught us.
