I started to learn Tajweed from Ustadha Mashal from KitaaConnect about a couples of months or so ago, with knowing some Tajweed rules and the majority not. In the past, daily reciting meant, I felt inadequate, sad and not fully enjoying  my relationship with the Quran.

For some time, I wanted to start a structured Tajweed course with a dedicated and a patient teacher and the classes with relatively small numbers. I have recently completed Tajweed level one and I have already learnt numerous amount of rules and techniques which I didn’t know before. I have two more levels of Tajweed to complete and I am extremely enthusiastic that by the end of the course inshallah, I’ll become a confident and a much better reciter.”

“I have been studying tajweed with sister Mashaal since September 2022. This Ramadan when I’m reading the Quran it just hits differently! I’m focusing on quality over quantity of my recitation and the connection I feel to Allah is more focused, sincere and humbling. At times I’ve felt a little overwhelmed with all the theory to remember, but sister Mashaal is such a wonderful teacher that when I start reciting, the qualities and rules just come naturally to me - SubhanAllah. It’s been a game-changer and I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone who is considering it.”

“ I was lacking a lot of confidence when it came to reading the Quran. I knew I wasn’t reciting correctly and was embarrassed to recite aloud. For years I longed to recite the correct way but just couldn’t find anyone to fit around my work schedule. So I gave up searching. Then popped a message in my inbox for weekend classes. I was apprehensive to take the first step, however alhamdulilah I’m so glad I did, Alhamdulillah.Since starting the course with ustaadhah Mashal at KitaabConnect, my confidence has grown massively and for th e first time in a very long time, I was able to pick up the Quran and recite confidently.

My connection has also become stronger  and am starting to recognise meanings of words and starting to understand what is being recited.

If you are waiting to take the step but haven’t yet don’t think twice. Just do it. You won’t regret it!

“JazakAllukhair for all your patience and hard work and for really teaching in a meaningful way- I’ve started tajweed a few times but this is the first time I feel I have a proper hold on everything you’ve gone through and I’m noticing I’m more conscious of everything when I read the Quran”

“After learning how to recite the Quran with tajweed I am much more aware of all the letters and their different characteristics when I am reading it. I didn’t realize how many mistakes I was making unknowingly before I took this course. I have learnt so much and can confidently correct myself now if I do make a mistake. Definitely worth the time and effort as it has made a huge difference to the way I recite the Quran.”

“I recently done my Tajweed course with sister Mashal. After doing this course, I see my connection with the Quran in a different prospect. At the beginning of my course i was kind of hesitant that how i would going to do that but with sister M’s help everything got easier Allhamdulilah.I feel more confident,involved and focused while reciting the Quran. The best thing is knowing all the rules of tajweed and then recite Quran properly is quite interesting. I feel like every women must do this course.”

“I knew tajweed, but I never understood the depth and beauty of it the way I did in my class with ustaadah. I fell in love with every single lesson I took with her. I never felt more connected with the Qu'an before. My passion grew stronger as I knew more. The blessings with learning and growing to love it is just something amazing and a feeling that cannot be described. And it's a beautiful blessing to be shared. It made me want to know and understand more about the Qur'an and إن شاء الله I plan to memories and gain more knowledge about it and إن شاء الله help our community to grow in loving the Qur'an as much as I do!”

“One thing about ustaadah she is the best! اللهم بارك May الله reward her immensely and to increase her in knowledge more and to benefit her in what she teaches آمين یارب العالمین I cannot describe how much ustaadah has made me grow in loving the Qur'an and wanting to teach too. She is very patient, understanding and takes her time and doesn't rush things through. She breaks things down easily for her student to understand well. The passion she has for teaching is something beautiful and not a lot of teachers have that. She makes the class fun and enjoyable. And I know she teaches for the sake of the students to benefit and to love what they're learning.”

“I started my learning journey as a revert desperate to read Quran but with only a basic grasp of the Arabic alphabet. Whilst on Umrah I made sincere heart dua to Allah to help me. He led me to sister Mashal. Alhumdulilah her patience and easy breakdown of all the topics she teaches has led me from alif, baa, taa to being able to recite Quran slowly but fluently applying all the tajweed rules subhanAllah all in 18 months!  A wonderful teacher with a heart of gold who genuinely wants all her students to do well and achieve their individual goals I cannot recommend these classes enough honestly they have changed my life, my perspective on Quran and opened up a whole new way of worshipping Allah that I never had access to before.”

“Reciting the quran was really boring for me. After I followed the course tajweed level 1& 2 I found it really interesting to recite the quran after knowing all the rules including makharij and sifaat of each letter. Now I love to read the quran. I loved the way she teaches encouraging each week with all the positive things we had in our recitation. She always had answers to my questions or she would find it for me. Really good teacher I can recommend to anyone. May Allah reward you immensly for teaching us to read the book of  Allah in the correct way. Jazakallah khair”

“Usthada Mashal is one of the best usthada I’ve ever met. The way she carried the course was amazing. Never ever felt I was sitting in front of a computer for an hour or more because it was that interesting... Alhamdulilla alhamdulilla. The little hints she gave us in thajweed were simply awesome and will never go away from our minds. Whenever I read the Quran I’ve surprised myself so many times with her small hints. One last thing, she always wears a big smile on her face which keep the students very active and enthusiastic.”
