An Ijazah is a licence a Quran teacher receives after reciting the whole Quran to a qualified scholar, who confirms the recitation is correct. It links the teacher to a chain of teachers going back to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

In his own words

Would you recommend us to your friends?

At the end of his class, Adam’s teacher asked him one question. This is his answer, unscripted.

“If you don’t know Arabic at all, it will be good for you. And if you know a lot of Arabic, it’ll be good for you too.”
“The teachers are friendly, they’re nice, they’re accommodating, they’re respectful.”

Adam, student at Super Muslim Academy
