The Quran Memorization Program is for adult and young Muslims and caters to varying levels of knowledge. If a student doesn’t know how to read the Arabic alphabet, they are referred to the ALP program for at least a semester in order to really benefit from the Quran Memorization Program.
The QMP Levels:
Beginner: 6 Levels, 12 weeks per level This level covers memorization of the last 10 Ajza’ of the Quran. Starting with the short surahs in the last juz (juz 30) and building to the 21st juz, students get intensive Ahkaam al-Tajweed (Rules of Pronunciation) lessons. When a student completes memorization of 10 Ajza’, they become a teacher assistant for a beginner class and gradually lead the group.
Intermediate: 4 Levels This level covers memorization of the rest of the Quran, from Juz 1 to Juz 20 over 6 months. They review what they already memorized in the last 10 Ajza’twice during the 6 months and work on memorizing the remainder of the Quran.
Advanced: 10 Levels (10 Qirat) This level is for those who have memorized the entire Quran and would like to do tasmee’ for the 30 Juz’ in 10 weeks. Their recitation must have no more than 2 mistakes in reciting 3 juz’ in one session. The outcome of this level is to obtain ijaza in a new narration of the Quran.
In the first half of each class, students focus on reviewing what they memorized, and the latter half is for new memorization. Students recite for the teacher and the classes are designed to optimize memorization for all.
