Tajweed Institute

Tajweed Institute A self-sustaining Islamic center established on the premise of building a strong community by empowe His love for the Qur’an started at a very young age.

WHO WE ARE:
Tajweed Institute is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), It is supported by a dedicated team of professionals. Through this team, we are able to bring quality services to all members of the community Muslim, non-Muslims, brothers, sisters, youth, children and converts. The main focus is to make the community stronger by empowering its members to be sincere Muslims. OUR VISION:
A self-sustaining

Islamic center established on the premise of building a strong community by empowering individuals spiritually, educationally, and socially based on the methodology of the Prophet (pbuh). OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to spread the authentic and thorough skills of Tajweed to all Muslims, young and old. This is done by certifying students of the Qur’an enabling them to carry on this knowledge to future generations.​

OUR STORY:
In many communities across the United States, many of the Qur’an teachers in schools and Masajid are not properly trained and qualified in reciting the Qur’an. This results in our youth learning to recite the Qur’an improperly, and memorizing it this way. Sheikh Ra’ed understood that the best way to deal with this problem is by preventing it in the first place. He developed this institute to spread the knowledge of reciting Qur’an with proper Tajweed. We do this by training those teachers of the Qur’an until they acquire an Ijazah (certification in reciting the entire Qur’an). The teachers can then pass on this knowledge to their respective communities, thus spreading this Ilm (knowledge) to the future generations. It is so essential to learn to recite the Qur’an properly because even slight mistakes in pronouncing letters could change the meanings of the words of Allah (swt). Thus it is our obligation to learn it as the Prophet, peace be upon him, has taught us. May Allah (swt) guide and bless us in this effort to spread the knowledge of His magnificent book. ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Sheikh Ra’ed Saleh Alrousan was born in Irbid, Jordan. In the 7th grade he received the first prize in the Hashemite Qur’anic competition of Jordan for his beautiful Qur’anic recitation. After this he won numerous awards in Jordan for his recitation of the Qur’an. His interest in Islamic Studies drove him to pursue an Islamic education in the prestigious Islamic University of Al-Medina, Saudi Arabia. He received his Bachelors degree in Islamic Hadeeth there. He continued his education upon his arrival to the United States in 2007. He obtained his Masters in Islamic Studies from the Graduate Theological Foundation in Indiana. Sheikh Ra’ed served as Imam in many Masajid in Jordan and in the United States, including Masjid Al-Qassam in Tampa, FL and Ebad AlRahman in Saint Petersburg, FL. Sheikh Ra’ed is certified (with Sanad) in the memorization of the entire Qur’an, with the help of Allah and specializes in the knowledge of teaching the Tajweed of the Qur’an. Through his specialized studies he has acquired an Ijazah (certification) in the recitation of the Quran of all the ways of Hafs from Shatebeyyah and Tayyebat Annashr. He also has an Ijazah in the recitation of the Quran of all the ways of Shoabah from Shatebeyyah and Tayyebat Annashr. His interest in the knowledge of Tajweed is what led him to recently develop a non-profit organization called Tajweed Institute.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn
“Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.”

Janāzah Announcement

It is with heavy hearts that Tajweed Institute announces the passing of Zubaida Nangailai, the beloved mother of our dear brother Habib, a cherished member of our community who has selflessly dedicated his time in service to our masjid. His contributions have included faithfully assisting with Jummah parking every Friday, serving our Tajweed Boys Youth Committee, and so much more.

The Salātul Janāzah will be held, inshaAllah, as follows:

Date: Saturday, June 20, 2026
Location: Masjid Hamza
6233 Tres Lagunas Dr, Houston, TX 77083
Salātul Janāzah: 2:00 PM

Burial: Forest Park Westheimer Cemetery
12800 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77077

We ask all brothers and sisters to attend, to stand in prayer for our sister, and to support Brother Habib and his family during this difficult time.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهَا وَارْحَمْهَا وَعَافِهَا وَاعْفُ عَنْهَا، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهَا وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهَا

O Allah, forgive her, have mercy on her, grant her well-being, and pardon her. Honor her resting place and make her entrance spacious.

May Allah ﷻ grant her the highest ranks of Jannatul Firdaus, fill her grave with light, mercy, and tranquility, and grant her family patience, comfort, and steadfastness during this time of loss. Ameen. 🤲🏻
