Tajweed
Tajweed is a Arabic word meaning correct pronunciation during recitation. It is a set of rules, which dictate how the Qur'an should be read. It comes from the root word 'ja-wa-da' meaning to make well, make better or improve.

Essentials of Worship
A complete subject outlining the absolute essentials of this knowledge: in faith, prayer, and key points related to one’s life and dealings.

The Names of Allah
Come to know your lord through His Names. The Holy Quran is filled with various Names of Allah (most high), each one of these Names teaches us about the Majesty and Mercy of our Lord. It is part of our Love for Allah (most high) to want to learn everything we can about Him, and learning His Names and their meanings is an expression of such love.

Shafi'i Fiqh
It is obligatory on every Muslim to study the fundamentals of this beautiful religion, this course will provide an opportunity for students to fulfill a part of this obligation.
