Levels and tests
Three programmes, each with its own path
Quran memorisation moves at a pace of new portions and revision agreed by the learner and the tutor. Tajweed begins with the rules of recitation and, for those who want it, leads on to preparing for the ijaza exam. Arabic for non-native speakers is a separate language programme that starts from letters and sounds.
- Memorisation
- A new portion and regular revision of what you have memorised, at the pace that suits you.
- Tajweed and ijaza
- In the first round of 2025/26, 3,017 learners sat Al-Azhar’s tajweed ijaza exam and 32.98% passed.
- Arabic for non-native speakers
- About 90,000 international students from 129 countries study at Al-Azhar, by its figures of December 2025.
- Ijaza and chain
- A tutor’s ijaza or chain of transmission is named only when the tutor holds it, and you can ask about it before the first lesson.

Where online lessons fit your week
Your own circle, online
Memorisation and tajweed need careful listening and correction in the moment, and a one-to-one online lesson gives the tutor full attention for your recitation alone. Together you agree a steady portion for memorisation and revision, at times that suit your day.
- Recitation corrected as you recite
- Regular revision of what you have memorised
- Times after school for children and after work for adults
- In Cairo time, or in your local time if you live abroad
