She has memorized the entire Qur’an in the recitations of Hafs and Shu’bah, and is currently memorizing the recitation of Warsh.

Sr. Julie is currently beginning her PhD at the University of Toronto in the area of Islamic law after completing a Master’s in this field at the University of London (U.K.). She holds a degree in Canadian common law from Queen’s University, as well as a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Waterloo. She actively pursues other Islamic studies opportunities part time, and has completed the Islamic studies program offered by AlMaghrib Institute.
This is a continuing class from our Fall 2017 Semester; it is for both brothers and sisters. Students will continue studying and practicing the main rules of tajweed at a beginner level, including articulation points, heavy/light sounds, meem and nun sakinah, stretching of sounds, and more. Sessions will include time for theory as well as recitation to practice implementing the rules.
Prerequisite: This course is aimed at students who already know how to read Arabic, and who have started studying the tajweed rules specific to the recitation of the Qur'an, as taught in our Fall 2017 course.
Students who cannot read Arabic or recite the Qur'an at a basic level are encouraged to register in our Course "Introduction to reading and writing Arabic".
Enrolment capped at 16 students
