The Grand Ijazah of Quran Recitation Program

The top Islamic status: be part of an unbroken chain of authorized transmitters going back to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

There is no book on the earth that has attained the status of transmission quite like the Holy Qur’ān. People who learn the Qur’ān through the transmission of authorized Shaikhs may obtain an Ijāzah (a certification) which makes them authorized to recite and teach the Qur’ān to others. Through IQRA Network’s Grand Ijāzah of Qur’ān Recitation Program, students are provided the opportunity to learn and grow on their path toward obtaining an Ijāzah.

Recitation
Exam

Students will take an oral test after completing the entire Holy Qur’ān, in front of a committee of three reciters accredited by the Supreme Council for Ijāzah. If a student earns a 90% or above, they will move on to the next level!

During this exam, students will perform the theory and practice oral test that covers all TajwÄ«d rulings before a committee of three   reciters accredited by the Supreme Council for Ijāzah.

Second Ethical &
Professional Exam

The second exam is carried out by the evaluation committee by covering all the student’s characteristics in determining the student’s ethics, morals and professionalism in being a scholar of this science.


Ijazah Final Exam

During the final exam, a committee asks students 

30 various questions centered around student’s ability 

to distinguish between different readings, catch auditory errors,

and general written, auditory, and oral competence.

Program Goals

The Grand Ijāzah Program has a number of objectives including eliminating the randomness of the Ijāzah, organizing a strong program supervised by specialists from the Qurrā’and ‘Ulamā’, taking advantage of the modern means of communication to ensure a sound learning and reading process, and preparing qualified reading and recitation that will be advantageous to those who study the Noble Qur’ān online.

Eligibility

Admission into the Grand Ijāzah Program is highly selective. Students must submit three recommendations from personalities attesting that the student is faithful in carrying the Book of Allāh Almighty. Additionally, students must pass a number of assessments such as a TajwÄ«d theory and practice test, a memorization test, the UsĆ«l al-Qirā’āt test, and theShātibiyyah, ad-Durrah and Taibah Publication test. Finally, students must pass an honesty and ethics test conducted by the listening committee through interviews and personal impressions to ensure that the student has the morals of the Noble Qur’an holder.

The Supreme Council of Ijazah Certification

The Supreme Council is made up of  a group of Shaikhs with the highest form of Sanad. Their accuracy, trustworthiness, religious affiliation, and honesty are renowned in the Islamic world and linked to Ash-Shāmiyan  and Egyptian schools in Isnād and Ijāzah. The council approves the Ijāzah curriculum and the reading method. They also choose the readers of the program, approve the documents of the Ijāzah and choose who joins the council in the future. Members of the council include Prof. D. Ahmed Issa Al-Masrawy, Shaikh Dr. Mohamed Fouad, Dr. Naeem Abdul-Ghani and Shaikh Muhammad Dia-uddin Hussein.

Frequently Asked Questions

When did you begin your business?

IQRA was founded in 2017 by three fathers, an MIT research scientist, a Tufts University educator, and Al-Azhar University Sheikh. With each founder bringing a unique skillset, they saw a need to bring proper Quran, Tajweed and Islamic Studies to families living in the West. All founders are now Board Members and work to secure the legacy of IQRA for generations to come.

What makes IQRA different?

There are many online programs for Quran and Islamic Education, but none match the resume of IQRA. We hold the most prestigious accreditation of Quranic recitation. Sh. Masarawi, scholar and founder of the largest, and most accomplished Quran Institute awarded us the official seal of approval.

How much experience do you have?

We have taught over 1 million hours of Quran, Islamic Studies and Arabic. With over 3,000 active students in 46 countries, 300 teachers and 35 staff members, IQRA is run more like a Fortune 500 company than a local Sunday school, but with the personal touch of a family member. Feel confident knowing we attract the best in the industry and don’t stop innovating to stay ahead.

Where are you located and do you have service in my area?

Our headquarters is in Massachusetts, USA, and we have a satellite branch in Cairo, Egypt. Our staff and teachers are located all over the world. The school is online only, and so, we are able to offer lessons to anyone, anywhere in the world. All you need is a computer, phone, or tablet and an internet connection.
