Quran Ijazah Program

The Quran Ijazah Program is a supervised and systematic approach to memorizing the Quran. This

program constitutes one-on-one reading and memorizing of the whole Quran by heart with Imam Khizer.

There are no set limits on how many pages are read daily or weekly, as this will be determined between the student and the instructor on an individual basis. A sanad (a chain of

trustworthy narrators traced back to the Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) is provided upon the completion of the program.

Quran Recitation

Students are taught the proper pronunciation and articulation of Arabic letters and words, ensuring

they recite the Quran accurately and melodiously. The instructor pays special attention to the rules

of Tajweed (elocution) to improve the beauty and clarity of the recitation.

Outstanding Student

I restarted my journey with the Quran in 2022. Prior to restarting, I had a finite amount of experience and struggled with things as simple as pronouncing the  Arabic alphabet. When I started with Imam Khizer I was nervous and felt like giving up every time it got tough. But during those tough times, Imam Khizer would encourage me and affirm to me how far I have come and how close I was getting to my ultimate goal. Since starting, I now know how to pronounce the alphabet correctly, I learned how to implement the ruling of tajweed such as madd stretches, Idgham, Shada, and Qalala, into my Quranic recitation, and have memorized the entirety of Juz Amma all within a short time. All of this was possible by firstly the Will of Allah and the excellent teaching and guidance of Imam Khizer. Although I am nowhere near where I would like to be, I am confident that by staying consistent with Imam Khizer, success will surely be inevitable.
