How Classes Work

Your Tajweed Journey — Step by Step

Step 1: Identify Your Starting Level

Your existing Arabic reading ability and vocabulary knowledge are considered before lessons begin.

Step 2: Begin with Familiar Quranic Passages

Students may start with Surah Al-Fatihah and other short Surahs commonly recited during prayer.
Familiar passages provide an approachable introduction to Quranic vocabulary.

Step 3: Study Individual Words

The instructor explains Arabic words, their meanings, and relevant grammatical features.

Step 4: Understand the Complete Verse

After examining individual words, students explore how they combine to communicate the overall meaning.

Step 5: Review and Practice

Vocabulary revision, short exercises, and guided discussion help reinforce learning.

What Makes Our Approach Different:

  1. We don’t rush. 30-minute focused sessions beat 1-hour unfocused ones.
  2. Every mistake gets corrected immediately — not at the end of class.
  3. You recite in every single class — no passive listening.
  4. We track your progress so you always know where you stand

What You Will Learn

Our Online Quran Translation Classes focus on building a foundation for understanding Quranic language.

Common Quranic Vocabulary: Learn frequently occurring Arabic words related to worship, guidance, mercy, gratitude, and other Quranic themes. Recognizing familiar vocabulary can make additional passages easier to approach.

Word-by-Word Understanding: Word by Word Quran Translation introduces the meanings of individual Arabic words while explaining how they function within complete verses.

Basic Quranic Arabic Grammar: Students may study introductory concepts such as:

  • Arabic nouns and pronouns.
  • Common verb forms.
  • Prepositions and particles.
  • Singular and plural expressions.
  • Basic sentence structure.

Grammar is introduced to support comprehension rather than overwhelm beginners with technical terminology.

Understanding Quranic Verses: Learn how individual words contribute to the overall meaning of a passage.
Because Arabic expressions can carry contextual meanings, complete translations should be studied alongside reliable explanations.

Translation and Tafseer: Students learn the distinction between translation and scholarly interpretation.
Translation communicates the meaning of the Arabic text in another language.
Tafseer provides deeper explanation through linguistic analysis, context, relevant narrations, and established Islamic scholarship.

Meet Your Teacher

A Quran translation instructor should have appropriate knowledge of Quranic Arabic and the ability to explain vocabulary and grammar clearly.

The teacher should also recognize the limits of literal translation and refer to reliable scholarly explanations when discussing complex verses.

Saad — Founder, Raza E Elahi Islamic Institute

I have been teaching Tajweed and Quran recitation since 2015 and moved to online teaching in January 2019. Over the past decade I have taught students from complete beginners who had never opened the Quran, to advanced students preparing for Ijazah. My approach is simple: I meet you where you are, correct what needs correcting, and move at a pace that works for you — not for a syllabus.

Credentials:

  • Ijazah from Wifaq Ul Madaris — one of the most recognized Islamic certification bodies in the world
  • Ijazah from AAS Academy, Lahore
  • 10+ years teaching Tajweed and Quran recitation
  • Students currently enrolled from USA, Canada, UK, and Pakistan

“A teacher with Ijazah means their chain of transmission goes back to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم through an unbroken line of teachers. This is how Tajweed has been preserved for 1,400 years.”

How to Improve Your Quranic Understanding Between Lessons

Practice reading the complete passage alongside a reliable translation.

When studying more complex meanings, consult recognized Tafseer sources or ask a qualified instructor for clarification.

Short, consistent review sessions can help you retain vocabulary and gradually recognize recurring expressions.
