Those who can already read Arabic may move directly to Tajweed. Students who wish to memorise the Quran should enrol in Hifz (memorisation), which takes 2โ€“4 years and requires daily practice. The 10 Qiraat course is an Expert-level programme requiring full Hifz and strong Tajweed as prerequisites. All courses are conducted live, 1-on-1, with a certified teacher via Zoom or Skype.
