Course Description: 

Building upon concepts taken in TAJ 201, students will complete the study of the rules of tajwīd, accompanied by an instructor-led recitation of Juz' Tabarak. This is a two-part course:

1. Students will gain an understanding of the rules of tajwīd (proper pronunciation of the Holy Quran) during weekly online sessions with the instructor.

2. Students will be divided into small groups and have an additional weekly session in which they will work with a recitation teacher. This part of the course will be complete when the student has demonstrated the ability to read the required sūras of the Quran and pronounce each letter correctly.

Prerequisites: 

  • Students should be women above the age of 17.
  • TAJ 201: Tajwid Part 1: Letters & Phonetics
  • ARL 121: Arabic Novice Middle
  • Ability to decode and read Arabic text with ease. Understanding of Arabic is beneficial but not required.

Placement: New students in the Ribaat Tajwīd Program should complete an assessment with a tajwīd assessor. Based on that, they will receive a recommendation on the best course to start with. To arrange an appointment, kindly email tajwid.assess@rabata.org, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible inshallah.
