INTRODUCTION
READ & ASCEND is the first of its kind in the UK. A Quran institute based in North London, opening the doors to a
new dimension of worship through understanding the Quran and increasing your proficiency in its recitation regardless
of your current ability. We thrive upon serving the Quran and its people, in the English medium, giving them unique
insight through seminars, exclusive video content, studying classical texts, measured with exams and events with some
of the highest authorities in the world right now such as Sh Abdul Rashid Ali Sufi (Qatar), Sh Ahmed Eesa Al Masarawy
(Egypt) & Sh Muhammad Abdul Karim (Sudan). Start your ascension with READ & ASCEND. Prepare yourself now, for
the day your Creator will ask you to Read and Ascend.

WHAT CAN YOU LEARN?


There are five core modules:
BEGINNERS ARABIC, HIFDH, TAJWEED, QIRAAT & TAFSEER
BEGINNERS ARABIC - Discover and immerse yourself into the
world of the Arabic language through our unique and concise 10
week course that will teach students to read and write in Arabic.
By the end of this short course students will be fluent in reading
as well as spelling in the beautiful language of Arabic, all the while
increasing their ability to understand the book of Allah.
HIFDH/MEMORISATION - Attend our weekly classes in person
where students will be able to read to teachers that which has
been newly memorised as well as revising and revisiting what
was learnt previously. The aim of this course is to have the
confidence and ability to recite the entire Quran from
memorisation. Classes will be run in both small groups and also one
to one sessions. Sisters will also be able to study with female
teachers in fully segregated classes.
TAJWEED/PRONOUNCIATION - The key to being a carrier of the Quran is being able to recite competently
with the correct articulation of each letter. Once students have completed their memorisation the next stage is
refining reciation with proper tajweed (pronunciation). Students will be studying the science of recitation through
classical texts such as Tuhfatul Atfaal and Al Jazariyah and will have the opportunity to present and put forth
to their instructors all that they have encompassed from these books, combining their knowledge theoretically and
practically. Running alongside our classes will be an exclusive weekly Tajweed seminar designed to equip students
with the knowledge behind their application., delivering course material by qualified mentors who specialise in their
respected fields.
IJAAZAH/CERTIFICATION - A huge step for anyone ascending amongst the ranks of Ahl Al Quran, this is a
certificate of authenticity of a students knowledge which will be obtained once they have completed one full
reading of the Quran from memory with correct tajweed (pronunciation) to a teacher. The certificate comes with a
sanad (chain of narration) that links its holder to the Prophet (peace be upon him) which is just like the chain we use
to authenticate hadith. It notes the name of the student and who he/she read upon, and who their teacher read upon
and so forth going all the way back to the Companions, to the Prophet Muhammad, up to the Angel Jibreel (peace be
upon them all) ending with Allah the Lord of Majesty. They will be tested throughout the recitation to ensure they
know the rulings in order for them to become specialists themselves. This comes with responsibility and those who
obtain this should never stop practising, nor teaching.

IJAAZAH/CERTIFICATION - The Ijaazah of Ustadh Jamal bin Abdul Nasir (hafidhahu Allah).

QIRAAT/MODES OF RECITATION - Having received an ijaazah students are then able to further their potential by
going on to learn any of the 10 modes of recitation adding a whole new dimension of understanding and beauty to
your recitation and knowledge thereof. This will be obtained by studying the relevant texts as advanced students;
Ash Shatibiyyah and Ad Durra. Students will be asked to complete another reading of the Quran, completely from
memory, demonstrating the differences between each mode of recitation. They will then receive a second Ijaazah/
certificate of authenticity which also acts as a license so they may go on to become teachers.
TAFSEER/MEANING & EXEGESIS OF THE QURAN - The Quran is a divine book sent to guide mankind. To sanctify
their knowledge of the Quran and to be able to act upon its guidance one needs to know the intended meanings
behind the verses, so we offer a tafseer course that will teach all of our students regardless of ability, the intended
meanings of the Quran. A person is meant to ponder over what is recited from the Quran in order for it to have
maximum benefit, so contemplate over the meanings as accorded by classical and contemporary scholars of this
science (tafseer). Like the Tajweed classes, all students will be able to benefit from a weekly 45 minute seminar.
Students will be tested on a regular basis to ensure they are retaining what has been taught.
The tafseer course is integrated within the READ & ASCEND programme and will be taught by a qualified instructor
of the highest calibre. Tadabbur (reflection) is an ibaadah that has been lost amongst our generation and we hope, by
the permission of Allah, through our tafsir seminars, this will enable the students to revive the art of tadabbur in their
lives.

READ & ASCEND presents all of these unique opportunities in the heart of the non-Arabic speaking world. London;
and in the language that is understood and spoken, English. This will be an advantage to students who previously
would not have had access to such knowledge due to limitations in language or mobility.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT US?


READ & ASCEND is based in Tottenham, North London at Masjid Ayesha. The masjid is a community centre that has
been established since 1984 and was the first mosque in Tottenham. The masjid has been home to several community
projects, both for Muslims and non Muslims, providing much needed facilties for the local community. The benefits of
having our classes at the masjid are many. From among them are the convenience of being able to pray in congregation
and the blessings of being inside the house of Allah.
At READ & ASCEND, we are passionate about delivering
the highest quality of teaching to you in the English language,
with teachers who are not only screened in terms of their
Quranic qualifcations, but also in terms of their ability to
articulate its sciences in the English language. Our mission is
to open up the Quran and Its oceans and make it accessible
to those are unable to learn in the Arabic language.
Furthermore, another key area of our focus is our dedicated
and exclusive services for sisters. Many a time, sisters
struggle to find somewhere they feel comfortable and able
to express themselves. At READ & ASCEND, we will
source the highest quality of female teachers who are able
to help sisters enhance their love for the Quran and enable
them to reach their potential in a fully segregated
environment.

TEACHERS
We learn from Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

The best amongst you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.
[Compiled by Al Bukhari]
Our mentors come from varied backgrounds from across the world, different cultures and countries, but all have one
thing in common; they have devoted their lives to learning and then teaching the Quran. They all have ijazaat (certificates of authenticity and proficiency) from their teachers in their respective specialities. A truly unique group of
people. They work hard to maintain their abilities and constantly revise, recite and revise more to ensure they are
able to practise what they learnt. They strive to spread the knowledge as far and wide as possible so take advantage
of having access to such people to avoid regretting it later in life wishing you had done more. Indeed it is a sacred
knowledge that comes with responsibility, our aim is to develop students into teachers and one day be united in the
heavens with them as Ahl Al Quran, sitting with those we loved and learnt from for no other reason except our love
for Allah and the Quran.
Anas narrated the the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

Verily Allah has chosen a people from amongst mankind. It was asked And who are they of Messenger of
Allah? He replied The are Ahl Al Quran, Allahs chosen people, special to him.
[Compiled by Ibn Majah]
