Hifz Program

Our Hifz program focuses on memorizing the Qur'an and is integrated with regular academic curricula.  Hifz is the Arabic term for "memorization" and refers to committing the Qur'an's text to memory. 

Key Features of the Hifz Program

• • • • Students work on memorizing portions of the Qur'an daily, often starting with shorter chapters (surahs) and progressing to longer ones.
      • Recitation techniques (tajweed), which ensure proper pronunciation and rhythm, are emphasized.

• • • • IScGKC’s goal is to integrate standard academic subjects, such as math, science, and language arts, alongside Qur'anic studies.
      • This helps students excel in both religious and secular education.

• • • • Students usually progress at their own pace in memorization, with some completing the entire Qur'an in a few years, depending on age, ability, and commitment.

• • • • Memorized portions are regularly reviewed to ensure retention and accuracy.
      • This is a crucial part of the program, as consistent revision is needed to maintain fluency.

• • • • Our teachers, who guide the students, are qualified instructors, often with extensive knowledge of Qur'anic recitation and memorization.

• • • • The program aims to instill values such as discipline, focus, and a deep understanding of Islamic teachings.

• • • • Any student is welcome to start the Hifz program depending on the availability of our teachers.

• • • • Full memorization can take 2–5 years, depending on the program's structure and the student's dedication.
