A unique course that combines between recitation and understanding. In this course, students study Juzz 1 of the Quran.

Each lesson is divided into two parts:

1. In the first half, students  recite to a teacher and have the opportunity to practice and improve their recitation. (This part was shortened in the edit for the purposes of online viewing).

2. In the second half, students explore one mindset from a selected passage of the Quran.
