Qur’an & Qira’at Gathering

Join us every Saturday evening from 7:30–9:00 PM at Essence Academy for a beautiful and uplifting Qur’an and Qira’at Circle.

This gathering is open to both brothers and sisters, and we encourage carpooling for convenience and community spirit.

Following the classical halaqah style, participants will sit together in a circle to recite the Noble Qur’an. Readings will be lovingly corrected and refined in the traditional “mukābala” method — the same way our beloved Prophet ﷺ would review Qur’an with Jibreel (peace be upon him).

The night will include:

  • Correcting and beautifying our Qur’an recitation

  • Exploring the art of Qira’at (variant recitations)

  • Reflections on melody and maqām in recitation

  • Short Tafseer insights on the verses being recited

It is a time of knowledge, spirituality, and connection with the Book of Allah in the company of others striving for His pleasure.

Note: Due to limited space, we kindly request that very young children who may not be able to sit through the circle not attend this particular gathering.
