Courses
Quran memorisation programme nurturing students through a structured pathway of excellence at Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda.
Stage One
Nazra is the term given to looking into and reciting the Quran. Prior to enrolment, an interview is taken so that students’ levels can be ascertained and they can be matched to the right course.
Within the Nazra class, students are taught Tajweed with correct pronunciation of the Arabic text. Furthermore, students will memorise the 30th Juz of the Holy Quran.
The Nazra course lasts for one year, although students may progress faster.
Stage Two
Hifdh-ul-Quran is the memorising of the Holy Quran. At Jamiah, we have many experienced teachers to maintain the high standards that we expect of ourselves.
Initially, students are placed on the ‘Pathway to Hifdh’ course where their suitability and aptitude is assessed over the course of the year. Students may then progress onto the Hifdh course or be directed towards the Alimiyyah course.
Typically, students who progress onto the Hifdh course complete memorisation of the Holy Quran in 3 years.
Jamiah has a unique structure promoting excellence, high standards and healthy competition between students. There is regular feedback to parents via quarterly reports.
Successful students will qualify for a place in the Full Time Hifdh Class after careful assessment.

Para Test Upon Completion
Students are assessed upon completing each Para. If successful, they begin the next; otherwise, revision continues.
Each student is assessed on the strength of memorisation and the quality of recitation across three areas:
3 mistakes are acceptable. Upon the 4th mistake, the Para must be repeated.
Exceeding 5–6 stucks results in failure, as it indicates a lack of confidence while reciting.
Recitation must maintain a good standard — pronunciation, full mouth letters and basics must be observed consistently.
Each student has an assessment sheet recording the date, comments, and Pass/Fail status for each Para.
