About Itqan Institute
Itqan Institute is honoured to be a direct extension of the great Shaami school of Quranic recitation, a legacy embodied by Sheikh Abu Al Hasan Al Kurdi, may Allah have mercy on him. We are uniquely connected to his profound mastery of the Qira’at, ensuring our instruction is grounded in the authentic, centuries-old transmission from Shaam. By upholding this tradition, we offer a rare opportunity in the UK to learn the Quran with its true spiritual depth and scholarly precision.
