About this course

About the Qirat Course

Qirat is the art of reciting the Holy Quran beautifully while keeping every rule of Tajweed. The Prophet (s) encouraged us to beautify the Quran with our voices, and a good recitation can move both the reciter and the listener.

In this course you work on breath control, voice and pitch, and the flow between verses. You listen to recognised recitation styles, practise them line by line and receive detailed feedback from your teacher on every recitation.

Qirat is an advanced course. Before you start, your teacher checks that your Tajweed is strong, because beauty in recitation must never come at the cost of correctness.

From the Quran and the Ahlul Bayt (as)

Words of Guidance

لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ حِلْيَةٌ وَحِلْيَةُ الْقُرْآنِ الصَّوْتُ الْحَسَنُ

“Everything has an adornment, and the adornment of the Quran is a beautiful voice.”

Prophet Muhammad (s), al Kafi

زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ

“Beautify the Quran with your voices.”

Prophet Muhammad (s)

Can a beginner join the Qirat course?

Qirat builds on Tajweed, so you should already recite correctly. Beginners should start with Quran Reading or Tajweed and move to Qirat later.

Do I need a naturally good voice?

No. Breathing, control and practice matter far more than natural talent. Your teacher works with the voice you have and helps you improve it.

Can sisters take this course?

Yes. Sisters can study Qirat with an experienced female Shia teacher in a private one to one class.

Yes. Just mention your preference in the message box or on WhatsApp when you book. Sisters and girls can learn with a female teacher, and boys and men with a male teacher.
