INSTITUTE

Encouraging Muslims of all ages to develop a love for the Qur'an by learning how to read, recite, memorize, and understand the Qur'an is the main objective of the Qur'an Institute.

QUALITY QUR'ANIC RECITATION

Whether reading Qur'an by itself, reciting it in prayer, or memorizing it - every Muslim has the duty to learn to recite the words of Allah properly without making mistakes that may result in changing the meaning. For this reason, Qur'an Institute has a strong emphasis on pronunciation. 

The better your recitation is, the more you will enjoy it. We hope to help you achieve this enjoyment and serve as a beacon to connect your heart with the Qur'an. The program is well-equipped to produce huffāth and training Qur'an teachers who can graduate to teach others in the community.

BRIEF OVERVIEW AND HISTORY

One of the main objectives of Qur'an Institute is to inculcate a love of the Qur'an in the hearts of our students. In addition to making the in-class experience as positive as possible with sticker charts, gifts, and smiles, we also host: 

  • Annual field trips

  • Eid gatherings 

  • Annual celebration in recognition of students who have achieved important milestones such as finishing their Qai'da book or memorizing a certain portion of the Qur'an

  • Annual Qur'an competition in Ramadan for students of all ages and levels.

From children to teenagers, working professionals to mothers and fathers, and advanced hifth students, Qur'an Institute (QI) serves more than 200 students of all ages and levels.

By the blessings and mercy of Allah, QI launched in 2009 as a Monday/Wednesday after-school program with only eight students. Initially held twice a week, the Qur'an reading and pronunciation program expanded to three days a week, with occasional classes on tajweed theory. 

In 2010, we added an evening hifth-exclusive program for advanced students. In 2013, we started a word-for-word translation class, Understand the Qur'an taught by Dr. Nasreen Khan. QI also offers a unique Teachers Training course taught by Ustatha Badia Khazaal, in which current and aspiring teachers study tajweed in depth, practice its application, and learn effective teaching strategies.
