Qari Shaykh Abdoulaye Sawadago - Quran Recitation
1.Group Teaching (All Students): The Shaykh introduces new concepts, demonstrates correct recitation, and explains Tajweed rules. Sisters may attend the main session or join a separate sisters-only stream for this portion.2.Individual Rotation (One-to-One):During the session, each student takes a turn to recite directly to Shaykh Abdoulaye.3.Personal Correction Based on Tajweed Rules: The Shaykh listens carefully, identifies specific errors related to:Makharij (Points of articulation)
Sifaat (Characteristics of letters)
Ahkam (Rules such as Noon Sakinah, Meem Sakinah, Madd, etc.) Waqf (Rules of stopping)
He then gives you clear, actionable feedback to improve your recitation.4. Volunteer Support: While waiting for your turn, you will be able to learn from the Shaykhs general guidance and recitation.5.Group Practice: While one student receives individual tuition, others continue reading, reviewing, or listening—benefiting from hearing corrections given to their fellow students.Why this matters:✅ You are not just watching videos – you are actively learning with personal feedback.
✅ Mistakes are corrected at the source – preventing bad habits from becoming ingrained.
✅ Learning is personalised – the Shaykh focuses on your specific challenges.
