Wilayah Method Winter-Spring 2010

Introduction

Ever thought about reading the Qur`an…but you couldn’t, or you’re not good enough? 

Don’t waste time! Learn with the Wilayah Method, A Great Way to Learn! 

Wilayah Learning Centre's Wilayah Method are part of the Qur'anic reading programmes for people of all ages and backgrounds.

These courses allow anyone to learn to read the Qur'an easily. There are currently two courses offered: Learn to Read Qur'an (or Beginners' Qur'an Reading, BQR), and Read Qur'an with Basic Tajwid (or Basic Tajwid Course, BTC).

Format

The courses are held weekly, ranging from at least 12 weeks for BQR, to 20 weeks for Tajwid courses.

Lessons shall be done in a traditional setting - floor seating with carpets, floor cushions, and DHO Rehals or bookstands. This is to maintain a code of learning for both teacher and students with regards simplicity and traditionality.

Lessons shall be recorded and posted online for learners to listen and download. This allows them to listen and review the lessons learnt each week.

There shall be reviews and tests that the teacher of the respective course shall determine for the students.

Requirement

The BQR is open to all, and especially to those who have never learnt to read the Qur'an or Arabic.

The Tajwid courses require a fair amount of reading fluency in each student. Their eligibility shall be decided upon an assessment. If the requirement is not satisfactorily reached, he/she shall be advised to take the Qur'an Qlinic to improve reading.

BQR graduates or those having learnt other systems and have reading fluency shall be allowed to join the Tajwid course without need for an assessment.
