Have you always found Tajweed to be mind-numbingly boring and dry? Are you confused by the concept of the Qir’aaat (variant recitations)? And can the Qur’an really heal a broken heart and bring peace to one’s life? Shaykha Saaima Yacoob, a renowned scholar of the sciences of tajweed and qir’aat, speaks to Zainab bint Younus to demystify some of the Qur’anic sciences, and to share her own deeply personal journey with the Qur’an. By the end of this episode, you’ll find yourself beginning your own love story with the Qur’an!
Shaykha Saaima Yacoob holds multiple ijazahs in Tajweed and the Variant Readings of the Quran (Qiraat), and also holds a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University.
