إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُ بِهَذَا الْكِتَابِ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِينَ
The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said, "Indeed Allah, through this Book, raises some peoples and lowers others."

Weekend programs teach the basics. But where do serious students go when they want Ijazah-level mastery? Very few institutions in all of Canada can answer that question with any credibility.
Across Western Canada, most Quranic programs are designed for casual learners — children who attend on Saturdays, learn the Qaidah, and perhaps memorize a few Surahs. For families seeking genuine Hifz completion, Tajweed mastery, or the prestigious Ijazah certification, options become startlingly scarce.
The reason is straightforward: teaching at this level requires a scholar with a verified, unbroken chain of transmission (Sanad) connecting back to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Finding such scholars who have also relocated to Western Canada is exceptionally rare.
An Ijazah is not simply a certificate — it is a living testimony that the science of Quranic recitation has been transmitted authentically from teacher to student in an unbroken chain stretching back to the Prophet ﷺ himself. Without this chain, no certification can be considered truly valid in the classical Islamic scholarly tradition.
Tarteel Quran Institute exists precisely to fill this gap. Under the guidance of Sheikh Mohamed Moamen — a scholar with a verified high-level Sanad — Edmonton now has an institution capable of producing certified Huffaz and holders of Ijazah at the highest academic standard.
