So many sisters asked if there are shorter Arabic and Tajweed courses, so I've put together two short 12 week courses: a beginner course and an intermediate course, completed before Ramadan, in shāʾ Allāh.
Enrol nowIf you are a beginner in both these studies, then this course is for you.
By the last class, in shāʾ Allāh, you will have completed Book 1 and studied all 9 foundational topics of Tajweed.
If you have completed Book 1, then this course is for you.
By the last class, in shāʾ Allāh, you will have completed Book 2 and studied Tuḥfat al Aṭfāl from beginning to end.
Arabic so you understand the Book of Allah ʿAzza wa Jall, and Tajweed so you recite it as it was revealed.
Shaykh al Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:
وأيضًا فإن نفس اللغة العربية من الدين، ومعرفتها فرض واجب، فإن فهم الكتاب والسنة فرض، ولا يُفهم إلا بفهم اللغة العربية، وما لا يتم الواجب إلا به فهو واجب
“The Arabic language itself is from the religion, and knowing it is an obligation. Understanding the Book and the Sunnah is obligatory, and they are not understood except by understanding the Arabic language, and whatever an obligation cannot be fulfilled without is itself obligatory.”
Iqtiḍāʾ aṣ Ṣirāṭ al Mustaqīm
Imam Ibn al Jazarī رحمه الله said:
والأخذُ بالتجويدِ حتمٌ لازمُ ۞ مَن لم يُجوِّدِ القرآنَ آثِمُ
لأنه به الإلهُ أنزلا ۞ وهكذا منه إلينا وصلا
“Taking Tajweed is a binding necessity; whoever does not recite the Qur'an with Tajweed is sinful. Because with it Allah ʿAzza wa Jall sent it down, and in this way it reached us from Him.”
