Memorisation & Commentary al-Shatibiyya

This programme immerses students in the study of al-Shatibiyya, a poetic work on the modes of recitation of the Quran. It includes an in-depth study of the text by Imam al-Shatibi, including an exploration of the structure, themes and methodologies employed in the work. The programme supports students in a structured manner to memorise the complete poem and, through detailed analysis of its content and regular practice, students gain a profound understanding of the various canonical recitations.

The primary course text is “Hirz al-Amani wa Wajh al-Tahani”, better known by reference to its eponym as Al-Shatibiyya, and it is supplemented with texts on Qira'at and Tajweed by various classical scholars.
