Online Ijazah Course: The Authenticated Chain of Quranic Transmission
Ijazah is not a certificate from a course. It is a direct line of teaching that connects you, through named scholars across centuries, to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
To hold an Ijazah in Quranic recitation is to have learned the Quran from a qualified teacher who learned from their teacher, who learned from their teacher, in an unbroken human chain of transmission that stretches from the present day back to the first revelation in 610 CE. The chain is documented. The names are recorded. Every link is verifiable.
What Makes Ijazah Different from Every Other Qualification
A university degree certifies that a student passed exams. An online course certificate certifies that a student completed recorded lessons. Ijazah certifies something different: that a human teacher, whose own recitation was verified by their teacher, going back through a documented chain, has listened to the student’s complete recitation and judged it correct according to established Tajweed rules.

Types of Ijazah
Ijazah in Hafs an Asim
The most common Ijazah, covering the Riwayah used by the majority of Muslims worldwide. This is the starting point for most students.
Ijazah in the Ten Qira’at
For the most advanced students, covering all ten recognized recitation styles. A multi-year undertaking.
Who This Course Is For
Students who have completed Hifz with verified Tajweed. Students with near-complete Hifz (20 to 25 Juz minimum) with strong Tajweed may be considered. Advanced students pursuing Ijazah in Tilawah (recitation without full Hifz) are also accepted.
Hifz Program – prerequisite
How the Program Works
The program begins with a comprehensive Tajweed and recitation assessment. Preparation involves reciting the full Quran to the tutor over weeks and months, with every error identified and corrected. Only when the tutor is satisfied does the formal Ijazah process begin.
Our Tutors’ Credentials
Every Ijazah program tutor holds their own Ijazah with documented sanad. The Ijazah certificate issued traces through Al-Azhar-affiliated and Wifaq ul Madaris scholarly chains.
