Stage One
Introduction to Nazra
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
Introduction to Hifdh
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.
Jamiah has a unique structure promoting excellence, high standards and healthy competition between students. There is regular feedback to parents via termly reports.
Successful students will qualify for a place in the Full Time Hifdh Class after careful assessment.
