At SimplyTajweed, we believe it’s essential that whoever embarks on their Tajweed
journey feels fully supported every step of the way. We also recognise that every
individual will study in their own unique way. And so, when designing the course, our
ambition was to ensure that it’s truly comprehensive and diverse… one that every
student feels at ease with and enthused by!
Online Interactive Course
The SimplyTajweed course consists of 5 comprehensive classes. Each class is divided into a series of short digestible lessons averaging 10 minutes. That’s because we believe that it’s essential that you learn Tajweed at your own pace. Each Class also contains various discussion points which aim to maximise engagement and interactivity. You will see that we have also specifically designed our portal in a way that further encourages this!
The entire course is taught in line with the recitation of the Quran by Hafs ‘An ‘Asim by the way of Shatibiyyah.
All classes should be taken in chronological order as the preceding class is a prerequisite for the following class.
