Learn, Master, and Get Certified Online
Start your Quran Ijazah journey with a live, one-on-one course designed for beginners, intermediate students, and advanced reciters who want an authentic ijazah in Quran recitation and/or memorization from the comfort of home.
You follow a structured, step-by-step curriculum that prepares you to recite the entire Quran accurately, apply the rules of Tajweed, and qualify for an ijazah with a recognized sanad — guided personally by Al-Azhar-certified, native Arabic teachers.
What Is Quran Ijazah?
Ijazah is a formal certification granted by a qualified scholar or sheikh confirming mastery of correct Quran recitation according to specific Tajweed rules and a recognized narration (riwayah). Traditionally, the teacher authorizes the student to transmit the Quran with an authenticated chain (sanad) connecting back to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
In our online program, this same concept is preserved: you recite the entire Quran to a certified teacher, and once your recitation reaches the required standard, you receive ijazah confirming your mastery and permission to teach others.
