Tajweed refers to perfecting one’s recitation of the Qur’an, by learning the correct pronounciation of the Arabic letters, the rules and ways of joining them as well as how to stretch sounds and start and stop in the right manner. The course has been designed such that one progresses gradually over the levels, learning new rules and reciting one-to-one to a teacher on a weekly basis so that each student can perfect his or her recitation.

Whether you have never studied tajweed before or have learnt in the past (and maybe forgotten) then this class will be suitable for whatever your background. Register today to take your first step on the journey to be amongst the company of the noble angels!
