“Ijazah” or “Ijaza” (in Arabic: الإِجازَة) linguistically means “permission”, “authorization”, or “license”. In terms of Quran study, It is an accredited certificate that grants its holder the authority of transmitting and teaching Quran recitation with tajweed or Quran Memorization.

Moreover, It gives its holder the right & eligibility to certify others with the same authority as well. So that makes an endless chain of certified Quran narrators.

A “Sanad” linguistically means chain or something that connects one thing to another and its technical meaning means Muslims who are connected to other Muslims (by scholastic lineage), and “Sanads”(Asaneed) were also granted around the same time that Ijazah began being granted because one is usually not granted one without the other one except in certain cases, and anyone granted Ijazah is called a “Mujeez” literally one who has been granted Ijazah.

Moreover, It is also very important to know that the Scholars decided to give each “Sanad” a “Ranking” (a rank of either a “High-Sanad” or a “Low-Sanad” according to certain characteristics. So consequently, Muslims in the Ijazah/Sanad system don’t just have “Ijazah” and a “Sanad”, but also have either a High-Quality San or a Low-Quality Sanad.

There are 2 main types of Ijazah in Quran:

1. Ijazah in Quran Recitation with Tajweed
2. Ijazah in Quran Memorization/Hifz

You can get Ijazah online at Kalamullah institute starting from 24$ per month which grants you 4 Hours per Month, 1 Hour per Week, and One/Two Days per Week.

Ijazah played a very important role in transmitting correct Quran & Islamic knowledge across the ages. It’s one of the major factors that preserved Islamic knowledge from any manipulation or mistakes.

The Quran is the speech of Allah (SWT) revealed to the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So, committing mistakes in its recitation is a sin. If the Quran is transmitted by someone who didn’t master the Quran, it will create a chain of sinners which back to the original sinner who took on himself transmitting the Quran without a right.
