The department teaches specialized knowledge of the science of recitation, its divisions, origins, introduction of the ten imams with their narrators and methods including chain of transmission to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) through a scientific curriculum and an applied study in which the student receives from his teacher the recitation with perfection and superior skill along with application of the rules that assists in distinguishing between the successively narrated recitation modes.

The study program has three branches:

Tajweed: This first section is a series of lessons in the science of Tajweed in an innovative style, which helps the student to understand and apply the practical rules of Tajweed, and to excel in reciting the Quran in the best way. It is achieved through memorization, understanding, explanation, and application of the text of Tuhfat al-Atfal by the scholar Al-Jamzuri, the text of Al-Jazariyyah by Imam Ibn al-Jazari, and the Samnudiyyat, in addition to other study materials masterfully picked from reliable sources of the discipline.

Recitation Modes and Chains of Transmission: This second section teaches the successive recitation modes through memorization, understanding, explanation, and application from the following books:

• Text of Al-Shatibiyyah for the seven recitations by Imam al-Shatibi
• Text of Al-Durrah Al-Mudiyyah for the three recitations that complete the ten approved recitations by Imam Ibn Al-Jazari
• Text of Tayyibat Al-Nashr in the ten recitations by Imam Ibn Al-Jazari

Then obtaining the licenses by:
1. The narration of Hafs and Shu’bah from Asim Al-Kufi  2. The narration of Warsh and Qaloon from Nafi’ Al-Madani
3. The narration of al-Bazzi and Qunbul from Ibn Kathir Al-Makki   4. The narration of al-Duri and al-Susi from Abu Amr Al-Basri
5. The narration of Hisham and Ibn Zakwan from Abdullah bin Aamir Ash-Shami   6. The narration of Khalaf and Khallad from Hamzah Az-Zayyat Al-Kufi
7. The narration of Abu al-Harith and al-Duri from al-Kisa’i Al-Kufi   8. The narration of Ibn Jammaz and Ibn Wardan from Abu Ja’far Al-Madani
9. The narration of Ruways and Rouh from Ya’qub Al-Hadrami Al-Basri and   10. The narration of Ishaq and Idris from Khalaf Al-Ashir Al-Baghdadi, from the way of Al-Shatibiyyah and Al-Tayyibah which conclude all ten successive recitations, the small and the large, with their chains of transmission connected to the master of the two worlds Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him and his family.

The Higher Specialization: This third branch encompasses all the specialized sciences related to Quranic recitations, grounded in a comprehensive and in-depth study of the discipline. It examines the origin and development of these recitations, tracing their description and form from the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the present day. The branch explores the connection between the Quran and its various recitation modes, the successive narration of these modes, and the authenticity of their chains of transmission. Additionally, it delves into the knowledge of anomalous and interpretive recitations, the context of their origin, and the reasons for differences among recitation modes, as well as the criteria for preferring one over another.

Furthermore, this branch investigates the influence of Quranic recitation sciences on other Islamic disciplines and their interdisciplinary relationships. It covers specific aspects such as the rules of stopping and starting in recitation, the writing style of the Quranic text and its precision, compatibility of the Quranic text with Arabic language and literature. The study also includes the attribution, differentiation, and refinement of narration chains, the classification of reciters, and notable doubts raised about recitation modes and their related sciences—along with scholarly responses to these doubts. This extensive field ensures a thorough understanding of Quranic recitation in both its historical and contemporary contexts.
