✨Virtue of Reciting Surah Al-Mulk✨ 📖 Did you know that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed there is a Surah in the Qur’an of thirty Ayat, which intercedes for a man until he is forgiven. It is [Surah] Tabarak Alladhi Biyadihil-Mulk.” Hasan النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إن سورة في القرآن ثلاثون آية شفعت لرجل حتى غفر له، وهي: تبارك الذي بيده الملك. حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ 💫 Reciting Surah Al-Mulk every night is a shield from the punishment of the grave. It’s a reminder of Allah’s complete control over all affairs — a comfort before sleep and a protection through the unseen. 🤍 🌙 Let’s make it a daily habit, one page at a time. #ItqanInstitute #QuranReminder #SurahAlMulk #TajweedJourney #QuranReflection

🕌 Scholars of Shaam Series - Part 3 ✨ Sheikh Krayyem Rajeh (1926–Present)✨ Sheikh Krayyem Rajeh is a distinguished Syrian Islamic scholar and the revered Sheikh of the Quranic readers of Shaam. Born in 1926 near Damascus, he memorised the entire Quran under Sheikh Yassin Al-Zurzor and received an Ijazah sanad from Sheikh Ahmed Al-Helwani. A master of the Shafi’i school and a gifted linguist, he was appointed in the 1980s as the Sheikh of Shaam’s Quranic readers. 🌱 Over his lifetime, Sheikh Rajeh has taught hundreds of students who went on to become prominent Quranic reciters and scholars themselves, perpetuating his deep knowledge and devotion. His dedication to the Quran is reflected in his continuous teaching, as he never missed a day without leading Quranic lessons and reading sessions. He authored several influential works on Quranic sciences and tafsir, helping preserve and spread the rich heritage of Quranic recitation and interpretation. 🌟 Sheikh Rajeh’s legacy goes beyond his scholarship—he is a courageous voice for truth and justice, known for his unwavering stance against oppression in the time of The Assad regime. His life inspires us to embrace the Quran not just as a text but as a powerful source of guidance and courage in times of trial. May his tireless efforts inspire generations to seek and spread the light of the Quran. 🤍 #ItqanInstitute #ScholarsOfShaam #QuranLearning #QuranTajweed #Tajweed #LearnQuran #LearnQuranWithTajweed

A moment of history and immense barakah. 🌿 In this clip, we see our beloved teacher, Sheikh Abdul Razzaq Al-Halabi رحمه الله, frail in body but strong in devotion, as he listens to a student finish the final verses of his ijaazah before signing his sanad.

Despite his age and weakness, his heart remained fully attached to the Qur’an. This is the legacy of our Scholars of Shaam: lives spent preserving and transmitting the words of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”(Bukhari) May Allah have mercy on our teachers, accept their efforts, and make us true heirs of this noble tradition. 📌 Join us and start your journey with the Quran today. 🤍 #ItqanInstitute #ScholarsOfShaam #Quran #Ijazah #Tajweed #QuranicLegacy #IslamicHeritage #AbdulRazzaqAlHalabi #LearnQuran #TeachQuran #Damascus #Sanad #QuranTradition

🕌 Scholars of Shaam Series - Part 2 Shaykh Abdul Razzaq al-Halabi (1925–2012) 🌟 Shaykh Abdul Razzaq al-Halabi, known as the Maqriʾ of Damascus and Shaykh of the Umayyad Mosque, was one of the foremost scholars of Qur’an and Islamic sciences in Syria. 🍃 Born in Damascus in 1925, he memorised the Qur’an at a young age and studied under leading scholars, most notably Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Farfour, with whom he helped establish al-Fath Islamic Institute. ✨ He received ijaazah in the Qur’anic readings (qirāʾāt) and in various Islamic sciences from great scholars of Shaam. For more than sixty years, he taught in the Umayyad Mosque, beginning his lessons in 1949, and became its official Imam and later Shaykh al-Jāmiʿ al-Umawī.

🕋 Qur'an Recitation Tip – Surat Al-Fatiha & the Letter "ه" (Ha') 📖 When reciting Surat Al-Fatiha, pay close attention to the soft letter "ه" (ha'), especially in words like: 🔹 اهدنا ✨ Tajweed Tip: The letter "ه" is a soft, breathy sound that comes gently from the middle of the throat. ❗️Avoid over-separating the vocal cords—this makes the sound too harsh or broken. 🧘♂️ Think: smooth, light, and calm breathing. Don't force it, just let it flow naturally. 🌱 Mastering these subtle rules helps preserve the beauty and correctness of your recitation. 📌 May Allah make the Qur’an easy and beloved to our hearts. #Quran #Tajweed #SuratAlFatiha #QuranTips #IslamicReminders 📞 0800 4101129

🕌 Scholars of Shaam Series | علماء الشام Honouring the Legacy That Inspires Our Mission at Itqan Institute ✨ 🌿 Sheikh Abu Al Hasan Al Kurdi رحمه الله A master of Quranic recitation and one of the leading scholars of Shaam in the 20th century. 📖 He memorised the Quran from a young age and went on to master the ten qira’at with a chain (sanad) back to the Prophet ﷺ. Among his teachers were Shaam’s most distinguished scholars, including Sheikh Mahmoud Fa’iz al-Dairatani and Sheikh Abdul Kareem al-Rifai. 🌟 His legacy lives through his students — over 29 completed the ten qira’at, including Dr. Ayman Suwayd, and several women who became masters of tajweed under his guidance. 💭 Despite his deep knowledge in fiqh and Arabic, the Quran was his true joy. He once said, “A single verse pondered upon is worth more than the world and all it contains.” 📍 At Itqan Institute, we proudly continue the tradition of these great scholars. All our teachers are connected to this Shaami legacy through their own chains of transmission and ijāzah — making us one of the few places in the UK offering authentic Quranic recitation and ijāzah rooted in the tradition of Shaam.

🕌 Tajweed Tip from Itqan Institute 🎙 Heavy & Light Letters in Qur’an Recitation One of the most essential parts of Tajweed is knowing which letters are “heavy” (مفخّمة) and which are “light” (مرقّقة) — and giving each its due right in recitation. 🌟 Tip of the Day: 🎯 Give each letter its proper weight — don’t overdo it, and don’t flatten what should be emphasized. 🔹 Heavy Letters (تفخيم): These have a deep, echo-like sound. Always pronounced with a full mouth. خ ص ض غ ط ق ظ 🔁 Also ر can be heavy or light, depending on the context. ➡ Example: قال = Qāl (not Qal) — the ق is heavy. 🔹 Light Letters (ترقيق): Pronounced softly, with the tongue relaxed and mouth not filled. All letters except the 7 heavy ones are light by default. ➡ Example: كِتاب = Kitāb (not Keetāb) — the ك is light. ✅ Train your tongue to balance the weight of each letter. That’s how we beautify the Qur’an — by precision, not just melody. ⚠️ Be Careful When They’re Neighbors! When a heavy letter is next to a light letter, many people unintentionally make both letters sound heavy — or flatten the heavy one. 🧠 Examples: 🔸1- تَضْرِبُوا → Taḍribū so: ت is light, ض is heavy → Don’t make the ت heavy! 🔸 2- ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ → Ḍarab-Allāh so: ض is heavy, ر is heavey here, ب is light, ل in the word الله is heavy → Keep the balance! 🧠 Learning Tajweed is not just about rules, but about respect for the Qur’an.

Seeking Refuge (الاستعاذة) There is no disagreement among the scholars about confirming its recitation at the beginning. Said Silently (يسر بها) If the person is reading silently, or reading aloud but no one is listening, or in a group where he is not the beginner, or reading during prayer. Said Aloud (يجهر بها) If the person is in a teaching context, or reading aloud in the presence of someone listening, or in a group and is the one starting, or is the beginner.
Levels of Recitation (مراتب التلاوة) Recitation includes three levels: 1. Tahqeeq (تحقيق) Reciting the Qur’an with calmness and tranquility while observing the rules of Tajweed. In a teaching context 2. Tadweer (تدوير) A moderate pace between Tahqeeq and Hadar. 3. Hadar (حدر) Reading quickly while observing the rules of Tajweed.

✨ Master Every Letter, Every Sound Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) described the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ Qur’an recitation as: “Clear, deliberate, and letter by letter — with distinct pronunciation and characteristics.” 📖 Tajweed is more than rules — It’s a reflection of your respect, love, and connection to every word Allah revealed. At Itqan Institute, we support non-Arabic speakers on their journey to recite beautifully and correctly — just as the Prophet ﷺ did. 🎧 Discover the beauty of precise pronunciation. 🗣️ Learn the sounds. Feel the meanings. Reflect the excellence. #ItqanInstitute #TajweedTips #QuranRecitation #LearnQuran #TajweedForAll #NonArabicSpeakers #QuranWithItqan #MasterYourRecitation #SpiritualExcellence
