Seven Features that Set us Apart

Shaykh Dr. Moaaz Safwat is a world-renowned teacher and scholar of the Ten Major Qira’āt by way of Tayyibat al-Nashr, and the Ten Minor Qira’āt by the way of Al-Shatibiyyah and Al-Dorrah. The Dean holds the faculty and its students to the highest expectations, conducts regular progress monitoring, adjusts teaching approaches as needed, and empowers students to take ownership of their journey in Quran recitation and memorization.
2. The Lead Instructor

3. The Guidance Counsellor
The guidance counsellor is also an authorized Hafiz and an experienced mentor who has a unique ability to connect with younger students and nurture them through the sometimes arduous journey of memorizing the entire Quran. This is accomplished through regular meetings and counselling sessions with each student individually.
4. The Supervisor
The supervisor is an authorized Hafiz and trained to ensure that individual student progress is monitored, documented, evaluated and well-paced to meet set benchmarks.
5. The System
The system developed at Dar al-Burhan employs time-tested best practices found in leading Quran schools throughout the Muslim world. To ensure excellence, Dar al-Burhan limits its teacher-student ratio to 1:15.
