For adults and children to memorise the Holy Qu’ran. In these classes, students focus on memorising the Arabic text of the Qu’ran, word-for-word, and cover-to-cover.

Our aim is to develop children with good manners and etiquette, making them into moral human beings and giving them a strong foundational knowledge of Islam. Our Maktab programme broadly encompasses learning Qu’ran (Juz Amma), basic obligations like praying, fasting and purification, daily duas, Islamic moral etiquette and manners, as well as Seerah and Hadith.

Before students are eligible for acceptance into the Hifz course at Bilal Tembisa Islamic Centre, they are required to either enrol in the Nazara course or have completed the Nazara course at another accredited Islamic institute. The Nazara course serves as a foundational step towards Quranic memorisation.

In the Nazara course, students embark on a journey to learn the fundamentals of the Arabic alphabet, ensuring accurate pronunciation. This initial phase is crucial, as it lays the groundwork for further study. The course then progresses to a comprehensive study of the principles of intonation, known as tajweed. Mastery of tajweed is essential, as it aids in the correct and swift memorization of the Qur’an.

By the conclusion of the Nazara course, students have achieved proficiency in the correct textual recitation of the Qur’an with tajweed. They have successfully read through the entire Qur’an multiple times with fluency, marking a significant milestone in their Quranic education. This thorough preparation sets the stage for their advancement into the esteemed Hifz course.
