Rawalpindi, Fatima Jinnah Women University’s Department of Islamic Studies has announced the opening of admissions for its specialized diploma courses in Quran and Tajweed, as well as Calligraphy, providing a unique opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings and art. The university aims to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge and modern educational approaches through these comprehensive courses.

According to Fatima Jinnah Women University, the diploma in Quran and Tajweed includes detailed instruction on Tajweed foundations, articulation points of Arabic letters (Makharij Al-Huroof), and rules of elongation (Sifaat without opposite). Students will also learn about Madd Rules, Noon Sakinah Rules, Meem Sakinah Rules, and rules of Qalqalah, along with other Tajweed principles like Tanween and Laam Rules.

Simultaneously, the diploma in Calligraphy focuses on the artistic and professional aspects of Kufic script, one of the oldest and most revered forms of Islamic calligraphy. This course aims to be more practical than theoretical, preparing students for professional-level calligraphy, and providing them with the skills to master the modern Kufic script.

The admissions process for these diplomas is now open, with a submission deadline of April 26th, 2024. The three-month-long courses will start on April 29th and run until July 26th, with classes scheduled every Friday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. The fee for each course is PKR 15,000.
