About the programme

Recite the Qurʾān as it was revealed to be recited

The Tajweed for Sisters programme is a structured online course for Muslim sisters aged 16 and above who want to recite the Qurʾān correctly, beautifully, and with full confidence in their Salah.

From the correct pronunciation of letters (Makharij) to the rules of prolongation (Madd), stopping (Waqf), and the rules of Noon and Meem — every essential rule of Tajweed is covered at a pace that suits all levels, from complete beginners to those refining an existing foundation.

Every lesson is infused with tarbiyah — because the goal is not only correct recitation, but a deeper, more sincere relationship with the Book of Allah ﷻ. Classes run four evenings a week, live on Zoom, in a fully sisters-only environment.

What You Will Learn

The six pillars of Tajweed

A comprehensive curriculum covering every essential aspect of Tajweed — from the articulation of individual letters to the rules governing full recitation — integrated with spiritual development throughout.

مخارج الحروف
01

Makharij al-Ḥurūf

Points of Articulation

Learn the precise origin of each Arabic letter — from the throat, tongue, lips and nasal passage. Correct articulation is the foundation of beautiful, valid recitation.

صفات الحروف
02

Ṣifāt al-Ḥurūf

Characteristics of Letters

Understand the essential qualities of each letter — heaviness, lightness, strength, echoing (qalqalah), nasalisation (ghunnah) — so your recitation carries the full weight of each letter.

أحكام النون والميم
03

Nūn & Mīm Rules

Izḥār · Ikhfāʾ · Idghām · Iqlab

Master the four rules of noon sākinah and tanwīn, and the two rules of meem sākinah. Among the most frequent rules in the Qurʾān — essential for every Salah.

أحكام المدّ
04

Madd Rules

Rules of Prolongation

Study the natural madd and the extended madds — giving each letter and word its due length. Incorrect prolongation is one of the most common errors that can affect the validity of recitation.

الوقف والابتداء
05

Waqf & Ibtidāʾ

Stopping & Starting

Learn when and how to pause correctly, and how to resume — vital for preserving meaning and for proper recitation in Salah, Tarawih, and everyday tilāwah.

التربية
06

Tarbiyah

Spiritual Development

Every lesson is infused with tarbiyah — nurturing love of the Qurʾān, sincerity of intention, and the spiritual qualities befitting one who carries the words of Allah ﷻ. Knowledge without tarbiyah is incomplete.
