In the words of ʿAbd Allah ibn Masʿūd : ِ ِ ََن فَِ َنَ َك َ ََ ُونََيـ ح َ َىَ ُالؼ َ ر َ ََ َآنََفَِ كنَ َُ ُهََيـ ح َ َىَاهللََ َو َ َر َ ُش َ َول َ َُهَ ‚For if he loves the Qurʾān, then surely he loves Allah and His Messenger.‛ MISSION • Teaching the correct recitation of the Qurʾān, with Tajwīd. • Equipping the student with the 10 and 14 Qirāʾāt. • Understanding the Qurʾān. • Aspiring to live the Qurʾān. • Proliferation of Qurʾānic Sciences. CURRICULUM Al-Tanzīl offers a uniquely devised training-course which aims to enhance students - specifically huffath - reciters and all ardent learners or Qurʾān lovers in all aspects of Qurʾānic study. This course provides the student with understanding of the Arabic language, allowing him to grasp this communiqué, al-Qurʾān. It will also offer in-depth discussions on Tajwīd and Qirāʾāt, utilising classical works while comparing it with contemporary studies. Ulum al-Qurʾān is one of the pivotal subjects introduced so that students may understand basic and necessary facts about the Qurʾān: when certain verses were revealed, why they were revealed, how the Qurʾān was revealed, compiled, the history of Qirāʾāt, etc. 12 Al-Tanzīl’s Database of Sanad Holders The program allows students to study various specialised texts in the field of Qirāʾāt and Tajwīd, the likes of the Tuḥfah, the Jazariyyah and ultimately the Shāṭibiyyah as well as the Seven, 10 and 14 Qirāʾāt. Sanads and ijazāt are issued to students who have successfully fulfilled the necessary requirements and achieved satisfactory results.
