The civilizational code of Islamic learning has always begun with the recitation of the Qurʾān then pursuing knowledge of various Islamic sciences thereafter; all with the enthusiasm to become closer to Allah through reciting the Qurʾān then understanding it. This is at the core of the Darul Qasim Qurʾān program.
We ensure the success of all students, whether online or onsite through three core focal points:
Organization
An emphasis is placed on the documentation of weekly accomplishments, goals, and expectations from students.
Communication
The instructor and administration will consistently be in communication with parents/students, sharing short-term goals and accomplishments and answering questions and guiding students on what needs to be reviewed outside of class.
Focus
Our goal is to teach students to not only recite, but to recite with Knowledge.
To accomplish this goal, the program is designed to focus on you by offering one-on-one recitation lab classes.
The program is divided into three levels for students to meet specific milestones in their progress. The levels have been designed upon the legal scales to fulfill individual obligations (farḍ al-‘ayn) according to Islamic jurisprudence.
This program is designed for students to learn how to “read” from the muṣḥaf or have yet to recite a page in 7 minutes.
Students will be required to meet the following categorical goals of level I is as follows:
Reading: be able to recite/read a page under 7 minutes with Tajwid Level I application
Tajwid: learn level I tajwid rules within the program
Memorization: recite al-Fathihah and the last ten surahs with Tajwid Level I application
This program is designed for students to be able to recite the Qurʾān with all the general rules of Tajwīd. Tajwīd are the concepts and rules to recite the Qurʾān in the manner it was recited by the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, which is necessary for every Muslim.
The additional goal is to fulfill the sunnah of reciting the entire Quran to the instructor.
Students will be required to meet the following categorical goals of level I is as follows:
Reading: be able to recite/read a page within 3-5 minutes with Tajwid Level II application
Tajwid: learn level II tajwid rules within the program
Memorization: Memorize and recite the last twenty surahs with Tajwid Level II application
The prerequisite to the memorization of the Quran is the completion of Level II of the program or equivalent through an assessment.
