Beginner Programme
Basic Tajweed Course Online
Learn to recite the Qur'an correctly and confidently with the rules of Tajweed. A structured one-year online Tajweed course for adults who can already read the Qur'an, taught live by qualified teachers — with female teachers available for sisters. Sanad in Riwayat Hafs on successful completion.
About this programme
Read the Qur'an correctly — finally
Many adults can read the Qur'an fluently but have never properly learned the rules of Tajweed. This basic Tajweed course online is designed specifically for them. If you can already read the Qur'an, this one-year programme will take you from simply reading to reciting correctly.
In live sessions held five times a week, your qualified teacher teaches the rules of Tajweed in a clear, structured and patient way. You will learn not just what the rules are but how to apply them naturally as you read.
We have both male and female teachers, so sisters can learn Tajweed with a female teacher throughout the programme. Teaching is in Urdu and Hindi.
This is not a course about memorising rules on paper. It is about developing a real, practical skill — the ability to open any page of the Qur'an and recite it correctly.

How classes work
What to expect every week
Live online session
Classes are held live, five days a week. You join your qualified teacher directly for a real, interactive class — not a recording.
Rule introduction
Each session introduces or deepens a specific Tajweed rule. The teacher explains clearly and demonstrates the correct pronunciation with examples.
Recitation practice
You recite aloud and the teacher provides immediate feedback. This is the most effective way to develop correct pronunciation — practice with guidance.
Progress tracking
Your teacher monitors your progress and keeps you regularly updated. You always know exactly where you are and what comes next.
