Your journey

What you will master

For students who already read with the basic rules and want mastery. Your level is assessed first; if the beginner level serves you better, that is where we start.

  1. Ṣifāt: the character of the letters

    Beyond where a letter comes from: how it sounds. Whispered or voiced, strong or soft. This is what separates a correct reading from a beautiful one.

  2. Tafkhīm and tarqīq

    When the rā' is heavy and when it is light, and the lām of Allah between them: the rules behind recitation's full and delicate sounds.

  3. The three kinds of idghām

    Mutamāthilān, mutajānisān and mutaqāribān: how letters merge across words, so your reading connects the way the reciters connect.

  4. The full madd system

    A complete understanding of the kinds of madd, their causes and their counts, so you move past guessing to certainty.

  5. Mastering waqf and ibtidā'

    Mastering correct stopping and starting in a way that preserves the meaning of the verses, with hands-on practice of the sakt and hamzat al-waṣl, so your recitation comes out at its finest.
