Qur’an Memorization (Hifz)

Level 1 introduces young learners to memorization in a calm, sustainable way—prioritizing consistency, clarity of recitation, and a positive relationship with the Qur’an. Designed especially for early learners, this level builds strong habits through short daily practice, clear review cycles, and steady teacher guidance over time.

What your child will build:

• Memorization of Juz’ ʿAmma using a child-friendly, widely trusted sequence (typically from Sūrat an-Nās backward; order can be adjusted if needed)
• A reliable review system (sabaq, sabaqī, manzil) so memorization is retained—not rushed
• Clear makhārij and beginner-level tajwīd integrated naturally during memorization (short vowels, sukūn, tanwīn, shaddah)
• The ability to recite short sūrahs independently with minimal prompting
• Growing comfort reciting aloud for parents and teachers, with early confidence to lead short prayers at home

How the program runs:

This level is designed as a minimum 12-month pathway, organized into four 12-week terms. Most students benefit from two live sessions per week, supported by short, consistent daily practice that fits easily into family routines.

What’s included

• Live instruction focused on memorization accuracy, review, and calm repetition
• Clear guidance on daily and weekly revision so progress stays stable
• Ongoing attention to pronunciation and basic tajwīd as memorization develops
• Age guide: typically 6–8 years, with flexibility based on readiness

Fees: USD $99/month or $249 per 12-week term

Parent partnership:

We help you establish a simple, sustainable home routine—usually 5–10 minutes on most days. Parents receive practical tips to support review without pressure or overcorrection.

Checks and reporting:

At the end of each term, students complete a memorization check along with a light tajwīd review. Parents receive a concise report outlining progress and clear goals for the next term.

Level 2 supports students as they move into longer passages and more demanding memorization. The focus shifts from “learning to memorize” to memorizing with control—maintaining accuracy, applying tajwīd more consistently, and sustaining attention across extended recitation. Strong review systems remain central, so progress is secure and durable.

What your child will build:

• Memorization of Juz’ Tabārak (from Sūrat al-Mulk through completion of the 29th Juz) with steadier pacing and meaning-aware breaks
• More reliable tajwīd integration, especially madd counts, waqf choices, and clean restarts in connected recitation
• Stronger review discipline through an established sabaq, sabaqī, and manzil rotation that protects long-term retention
• Increased stamina to recite longer sections calmly and accurately
• Early self-correction skills and greater confidence when reciting in group or public settings (school or masjid)

How the program runs:

This level is designed as a minimum 9-month pathway, organized into three 12-week terms. Students typically attend two live sessions per week, allowing memorization and review to progress side by side without overload.

What’s included

• Live instruction focused on memorization quality, retention, and connected recitation
• Ongoing tajwīd reinforcement embedded directly into daily hifz work
• Age guide: typically 8–10 years, with flexibility based on readiness

Fees: USD $99/month or $249 per 12-week term

Parent partnership:

Parents receive clear guidance on how to support review at home, with drills designed to reinforce timing, stopping points, and calm delivery—without micromanaging.

Checks and reporting:

Each term includes a recorded recitation sample for internal benchmarking, a simple progress graph so parents can see growth over time, and a personalized home practice plan for the next stage.

Level 3 is designed for students ready to handle longer sūrahs with maturity, consistency, and composure. The emphasis moves beyond memorizing verses to holding meaning, structure, and pacing together—so recitation remains steady over time and reliable under gentle pressure.

Focus pathways (completed sequentially):

Students progress through two advanced memorization tracks, each designed as a focused 9-month journey.
Track A centers on the complete memorization of Sūrat al-Kahf, with attention to pacing, transitions, and thematic recall across the sūrah.
Track B covers Sūrat al-Wāqiʿah, ad-Dukhān, and al-Ḥadīd, building flexibility and endurance across multiple extended texts.

What your child will build:

• Mastery of selected longer sūrahs with smooth pacing, clear transitions, and stable flow
• Meaning-linked memorization through story arcs and thematic breaks, reducing reliance on rote recall alone
• Stronger performance readiness: calm voice, measured tarteel, and confident physical presence while reciting
• Advanced retention systems, including staggered manzil, weekly “anchor” pages, and mock spot checks
• Measurable long-term stability, with fewer slips during surprise or interrupted recitation
• Confidence reciting in prayer or age-appropriate gatherings with adab and poise

How the program runs:

Level 3 is structured as two 9-month tracks, each organized into three 12-week terms. Most students attend two live sessions per week, while some families choose to add a third revision-focused slot for additional reinforcement.
Age guide: typically 10–12 years, with flexibility based on readiness and prior hifz experience.

What’s included

• Live instruction focused on extended memorization, pacing, and long-term retention
• Regular performance-style practice to prepare students for real recitation settings
• Ongoing adjustment of review systems as memorization volume increases

Fees: USD$99/month or $249 per 12-week term

Checks and reporting:

Progress is monitored through quarterly spot-recitation checks with a second teacher, a termly parent consultation, and a refreshed home practice plan aligned with the next phase of memorization.
