The Hifdh course at El Badr Institute is an extensive and spiritually enriching program designed for the memorization of the Holy Quran. Hifdh, which means to 'guard' or 'preserve,' involves committing the entire Quran to memory, a practice that has immense religious and spiritual significance in Islam. This course is structured to facilitate the memorization of the Quran through an effective combination of teaching methods, including new lessons, short-term and long-term revision strategies.
The Hifdh course requires students to have a good understanding of Tajweed and ideally to have completed the Khatmah (full recitation) of the Quran. This prerequisite ensures that students are already familiar with the Quranic text and have a basic understanding of its pronunciation and rhythm, which are essential for effective memorization.
Students who wish to enroll in the Hifdh program must undergo an assessment to evaluate their recitation skills, understanding of Tajweed rules, and overall readiness for the course. This assessment helps the instructors to tailor the learning experience according to the individual needs and abilities of each student, ensuring a more personalized and effective memorization journey.
The Hifdh course at El Badr Institute is meticulously structured to cover the following key areas:
El Badr Institute’s Hifdh course is more than just memorization; it is a journey towards becoming a guardian of the Quran, embodying its teachings, and carrying forward the legacy of Islamic scholarship. It is a course that challenges the mind, nourishes the soul, and transforms the heart.
Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the correct pronunciation and application of Tajweed rules, ensuring that the memorisation is not only accurate but also melodious and true to the traditional recitation style.
