A discipline transmitted by unbroken chain for over fourteen centuries
The science of Tajweed is not personal interpretation or stylistic preference. It is a discipline transmitted orally, teacher to student, in an unbroken chain of narration that reaches the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This chain — known as Isnad — is what distinguishes Qur’anic recitation from every other field of knowledge, and is the only safeguard that has preserved correct pronunciation across generations.
At Riwaq Al Quran, we don’t simply teach you the rules of Tajweed. We connect you to that lineage. Every teacher on our roster holds a certified Ijazah with a connected chain, and recites with you exactly as their own teacher recited with them — a method known as talaqqi, or face-to-face transmission. This is the difference between learning Tajweed from a book or a video, and receiving it the way it was meant to be received: directly, mouth to ear.
We teach the narration of Hafs from ‘Asim — the most widespread recitation in the Muslim world — with the option to specialise in other narrations (Qira’at) for advanced students pursuing higher Ijazah.
