8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Al-Quran Recitation (Tilawah) and Tajwid & Quranic Memorisation (Hifz) and Retention

Diagnose current tilawah by recording three pages (Juz 1, 15, 30) and marking every tajwid error against a makhraj/tajwid checklist
Master the articulation points (makharij) of the throat and tongue letters by drilling 10 minutes daily and self-scoring accuracy
Apply the rules of nun sakinah and tanwin (izhar, idgham, iqlab, ikhfa') while reciting one new page daily
Re-memorise one page (Juz 30) with correct tajwid rather than speed, reciting it aloud to a partner twice

A written error log of the three diagnostic recordings listing error type, verse, and a corrected re-recording of the same three pages

Week 2

Practise the rules of mim sakinah and the mudud (natural, connected, separated, obligatory) on two pages daily
Recite one full juz (Juz 30) aloud in a single sitting with a listener noting errors
Memorise two new pages using the listen-repeat-recite loop, then test recall after a 6-hour gap
Correct every error flagged in week 1 and confirm the fix by re-recording

A timed audio recording of Juz 30 with a written tally of tajwid errors before and after correction

Week 3

Drill the rules of lafz al-jalalah, ra', and the letters of qalqalah in daily 15-minute sets
Extend memorisation to a cumulative 1.5 juz, testing each new page after 24 hours
Recite previously memorised pages in rotating pairs (old page + new page) to build retention
Self-assess fluency by counting hesitations per page and targeting fewer than five
