A course that is focused on further developing skills of Quranic recitation and perfecting the fine matters of tajweed, just as the Imam's and shuyookh of recitation described and applied it.



Abu Amr Ad-Daani said:

اعلموا أن التحقيق الوارد عن أئمة القراءة حده أن توفى الحروف حقوقها، من المد إن كانت ممدودة، ومن التمكين إن كانت ممكنة، ومن الهمز إن كانت مهموزة، ومن التشديد إن كانت مشددة، ومن الإدغام إن كانت مدغمة، ومن الفتح إن كانت مفتوحة، ومن الإمالة إن كانت مُمالة، ومن الحركة إن كانت متحركة ومن السكون إن كانت مسكنة، من غير تجاوز ولا تعسف ولا إفراط ولا تكلف

Know that tahqeeq that has been transmitted from the Imam’s of recitation requires that the letters are given their rights, having madd when madd is required, having tamkeen when tamkeen is required, having Hamz when it has a hamzah, having tashdeed when it has a shaddah, having idghaam when it has idghaam, having fat’h when it has a fat’ha, having imaalah when it has imaalah, having harakah when it has a harakah, having sukoon when it has a sukoon – without exaggeration, transgression, diminishing or excessive exertion.
