At Suffah Intellectual School, the recitation of the Holy Quran with Tajweed is a top priority. To ensure that students achieve the correct pronunciation and accent, we have employed highly qualified staff for Qiraat. Students engage in daily Quranic recitation sessions with a Qari / Qaria which helps them master Tajweed rules and develop a strong foundation in Quranic recitation. Additionally, we offer a dedicated Hifz-ul-Quran program that runs alongside regular schooling. This program provides an excellent opportunity for students who wish to become Hafiz without having to attend a madrassa, allowing them to balance their religious and academic studies. Suffah Intellectual School (SIS) is renowned for its highly successful Hifz-ul-Quran program, proudly producing over 50 Huffadh within the last five years. Our students, on average, complete their Hifz in just 20 months, excelling in both memorization and Tajweed. This remarkable achievement reflects SIS’s unwavering dedication to excellence in Quranic education, supported by our skilled staff and the dedication of our students. With this strong track record, SIS’s Hifz program stands as one of the leading Quranic programs across Pakistan.
