About us
The same Quran. The same tajweed. A whole new experience.
The institute
The Xpress Quran Institute is a pioneer and leader in Quran Coaching: a unique methodology that makes learning to recite the Holy Quran faster and easier than ever before.
Quran Coaching requires a fundamental mindset shift from traditional methods. It means treating the recitation of the Quran as a skill rather than a subject. Our ground-breaking methodology draws on a number of disciplines, including ahkam al-tajweed, phonology, neuroscience, speech therapy, executive coaching and habit formation.
Countless hours of highly skilled experts have been invested into developing these unique methodologies. Why? Because we believe that Quran recitation should be accessible to everyone. We know that for many people, learning to recite can feel challenging, unengaging, and time consuming. Our interactive courses are designed in a way that makes learning easy, engaging, and efficient.
When you complete our courses, we don’t just want you to be able to recite better. We want you to have developed a personal connection with the Holy Quran. We want you to enjoy spending time with it.
Our team
Mohammedkazim Kanji is the Founder and Director of The Xpress Quran Institute. With over 10 years’ experience in teaching students how to recite the Holy Quran, He specialises in detailed analysis of recitation and practical coaching techniques to help students improve. After completing his own studies in tajweed, he went on to enter and win several local and national competitions and is now invited to attend competitions as a judge.
Mohammedkazim has an ijazah qualification from Egypt with a very esteemed sanad (chain) that goes back to some prominent figures such as Sheikh Abdul Fattah Bayoumi, Sheikh Al-Dhabbaa’ (one of the teachers of Sheikh Al-Husary), and ultimately, all the way back to the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
Our team of Quran Coaches consists of national and continental competition winners, leading reciters within various mosques, students of the institute who have become teachers and know our methods inside out, and teachers who have taught students, their children, and even their grandchildren. Our entire team has been trained in our bespoke methodologies by Mohammedkazim.
Xpress Quran Global Rollout
The Xpress Quran Institute mission is to develop ground-breaking methods that make learning to recite the Holy Quran faster and easier than ever before. We have spent almost a decade investing in and refining our core pathway. Our courses utilise techniques from phonology, neuroscience, speech therapy behaviour change and coaching to revolutionise the learning journey. It is the same Quran. The same tajweed. But a whole new experience.
Our impact report evidences the benefit this approach can have and we want it to reach as many people as possible. That is why we have launched the Xpress Quran Global Rollout. In Wave 1, we are forming exclusive partnerships with select organisations across the world to spread our work to their respective regions. Organisations we are working with include NASIMCO, Africa Federation, and we have two other pending partnerships which will be announced soon. Wave 1 will take place in 2026 and has three stages:
Recruiting new Xpress Quran Coaches and training them in our bespoke methodology.
Working with community leaders in different regions to organise Quran courses for their communities.
Implementing a robust Quality Management System to ensure students receive a high quality experience and see a tangible improvement in their recitation.
