Quran Memorization Program
Adult and young Muslims with varying levels of knowledge and memorization can sign up with our Quran Memorization Program. It is open to students who can read the Arabic alphabet (those who cannot, can sign up for our ALP course to prepare).
The Quran Memorization Program (QMP) offered by Siraj Institute caters to both adult and young Muslims (ages 7+ to 70+), providing them with a structured in-person program to memorize the Quran in circles at a Masjid with other Muslims of similar level. Unlike online programs and private tutors, the Siraj QMP offers comprehensive guidance and support in memorizing the Quran.
With a structure that balances
- recent memorization
- long-term retention
- Tajweed rulings
- a unique inclusion of peer revision
this program is meticulously designed to facilitate effective Quranic memorization.
By offering structured guidance and peer support, the program empowers learners to deepen their connection to the Quran; which is the most vital source for Muslims to strengthen their faith.
The students will be placed in classes (groups) according to the results of their assessments. Each group consists of four students only. In some cases, five students can be accommodated.
The program has three stages: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
