Tajweed A3(E): Mutaqaddimah (Advanced) – Men – Equivalent Level

Note: This is a Mutaqaddimah (Advanced) Equivalent Level crash course for men, taught in English. The course covers material similar to the standard Mutaqaddimah (A3) course; however, on completion, certification is provided by the Mena Trust. The course may also count towards accelerated progression to higher levels of the Tajweed programme.
