Diploma in Qirāʾāt as-Sabʿ · The Seven Recitations

Azharul Jannah
Quran Academy

A two-year distance-learning diploma in the seven canonical recitations of the Qur’an — following the traditional curriculum of Madīnah al-Munawwarah, adapted for English speakers.


The Diploma in Qirāʾāt as-Sabʿ

Our most advanced programme

The Diploma in Qirāʾāt as-Sabʿ is the Academy’s most advanced programme: a structured, two-year journey into the science of the Seven Recitations. Built on the time-honoured curriculum of Madīnah al-Munawwarah and carefully adapted for English-speaking students, it takes you step by step — from the foundations of the science, through the uṣūl and farsh of Ash-Shāṭibiyyah, to reciting Sūrat al-Baqarah in all seven recitations by combined transmission (jamʿ).

It is a serious programme for committed students. It does not simply inform you about the qirāʾāt — it trains you to recite them, and prepares you for the path of Ijāzah that lies beyond.
