Learning the Qur’an from qualified teachers is important to preserving its proper recitation, understanding, and meaning. The Qur’an was revealed with precision, and it has been passed down through generations with care and authenticity by those who have mastered its recitation and interpretation. A qualified teacher is someone who has studied under other knowledgeable scholars, holds an ijazah (certification) in tajweed and/or Qur’an memorization, and possesses both sound knowledge and strong character grounded in Islamic teachings. Such teachers ensure we learn correct tajweed, avoid mispronunciations that can alter meanings, and grasp the deeper wisdom behind the ayahs. Just as we seek experts in worldly matters, we must turn to those trained in the sacred sciences to guide us in our journey with the Book of Allah. This not only protects the integrity of our learning but also connects us to a noble chain of transmission established in love and reverence for the Qur’an.
