  • Ijazah Program

    IAOS has introduced the Ijazah program in teaching Quran for whoever is a strong Hafiz with proper Tajweed. Our Imam Sheikh Mohamed will provide the Ijazah on behalf of IAOS.

    What is an Ijazah in Quran?

    It is a certificate, given by a qualified Qari of the Quran and Tajweed, with an Isnaad (Chine of reliable narrators), from me up to the Prophet (PBUH).

    Conditions of granting an Ijazah:

    1)   Reciting the whole Quran from Al Fatiha to Al Nas, from the student’s own memorization.

    2)   The whole Quran must be 100% accurate and proper with Tajweed without any mistakes.

    3)   Memorizing Matn (Poem) المقدمة الجزرية in Tajweed by Imam Ibn Al Jazri and understanding its meaning.

    4)   The student must be trained and qualified to teach others after he is granted his Ijaza.

     

    The importance of the Ijazah program:

    InshAllah the Muslim Community in Regina will have (qualified) Huffaz that we can trust to lead Taraweeh and teach Quran whenever is needed.

  • IAOS Education Fund

    Islamic Association of Saskatchewan (IAOS), Regina has introduced “IAOS Education Fund” for managing our all educational programs and services efficiently that we are delivering to the community based on the demand.

    Currently, IAOS is delivering a good number of Islamic educational programs such as Full-time Quran Hifz School, Part-time Quran Hifz School, Evening Quran School, Saturday School, Sunday School, Huffaz Revision Program, Summer School and so on. The operation cost of delivering for those programs is higher than the fees that we are receiving from the students/parents. We have been also organizing some Educational conferences every year for the community that costs money as well.

    So, we are requesting our community members to donate generously to our newly created “IAOS Education Fund” and support our Islamic educational programs and services for the sake of Allah SWT. Insha-Allah you will get huge rewards from Allah SWT for your contribution for this noble cause.
