We have many teachers who know the different Qira’at Alhamdulillah, but we focus on the Hafs as it covers 96 % of the Islamic nation.
I was not accepted to the Ijaazah program based on my recitation sample. What next?
Those Ijaazah applicants who still need to improve their tajweed are advised to attend a 6-month training period under the Ijaazah program. If their tajweed level is less than intermediate, they are advised to join the Tajweed Intensive program or one of the GQMC courses according to the evaluation and recommendation of the head of the department.
