The riwayah of Hafs ʿan ʿAsim
Recitation, Tajweed and memorization in Hafs via ash-Shatibiyyah, the riwayah read in most of the Muslim world.
Our Quran teachers
We have teachers specialising in Hafs ʿan ʿAsim and the other riwayat such as Warsh, Qalun and Shuʿbah, the Ten Qiraʾat (minor and major), the Arabic language, the ijazah with a sanad connected to the Prophet ﷺ, and Quran memorization for children, as well as female teachers for women. Every Quran teacher holds an ijazah with a connected sanad, Arabic teachers are graduates of Arabic language faculties, and classes are available 24 hours a day in your local time.

How do we choose our teachers?
Only teachers who pass three steps teach at the academy:
- Ijazah check: we see the teacher’s ijazah and connected sanad and confirm the sheikh who granted it.
- Recitation test: the teacher recites to one of our teachers with ijazah, in places the examiner chooses.
- Video interview and trial class: we assess how they explain and handle students, plus an identity check for anyone teaching children.
How do we match you with a teacher?
| Factor | Example |
|---|---|
| Your goal | Hifz, correcting recitation, a riwayah other than Hafs, an ijazah |
| Age | Teachers who specialise in children from age 5 |
| Teaching language | English or Arabic |
| Male or female teacher | For any student |
| Timing | A teacher free at a time that suits you, in your time zone |
How can I check my teacher's ijazah?
Ask to see it in the free trial class, and check: the riwayah and route, the type (from memory or from the Mushaf), the name of the sheikh who granted it, and the chain of the sanad. Ijazah and sanad explained.
