Ladies Tajweed

Why choose ISNAD?

ISNAD is a contemporary Islamic education provider. The ISNAD teachers & team endeavour to provide the best platform to educate all those who choose to study with us. Our ultimate aim is to help Muslims worship Allah correctly, increase their love and attachment to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and to become beacons of lights in their communities.

The Noble Prophet said: "Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a reward and that reward will be multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif Laam Meem is a letter. Rather Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter and Meem is a letter. So increase your recitation of the Qur’an to gain these merits.” (Tirmidhi)

Tajweed literally means “excellence” and “precision”. In regards to recitation of the Holy Qur’an, it means: "Reciting the Qur’an as it was revealed to the noble Prophet Muhammad". In order to do this, we need to articulate every letter from its correct place and give the letter its rights and dues of characteristics.

Our Tajweed programme follows a traditional curriculum which is designed around the famous Tajweed text, 'Al Jazariyyah' by the 14th Century scholar from Damascus, Imam Shams ad-Deen Muhammad ibn Muhammad Al-Jazari. We teach the way of recitation from the chain of Hafs from 'Asim in the branch of Shatibiyya.
