The rules of recitation, learned in theory and corrected in practice, until your recitation is precise.

وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا

And recite the Quran with measured recitation.

Surah Al-Muzzammil 73:4

Learning with a scholar

Students who want the most careful teaching can choose one of our senior scholars, Dr. Uzma or Dr. Isra, who each have about 30 years of experience. Dr. Uzma holds an ijazah and knows more than one of the qira'at. Places with them are limited.
