About Us
Committed to setting a new gold standard in learning to recite the Holy Quran
The Institute
When we discovered the hidden natural rhythm of the Quran we knew it could revolutionise how people learned to recite the Quran. We couldn't just sit on this. We had to share this with the world so that everyone can benefit. And so, The Xpress Quran Institute was born.
Our aim is to set a new gold standard in learning to recite the Quran. Our teachers taught us so much. We feel we owe it to them to build on what they gave us and take it to the next level for future generations.
Countless hours of highly skilled experts have been invested into developing courses of the highest calibre. Our Quran Coaches undergo rigorous vetting, intensive training in Quran Coaching methods, and continuous assessment to ensure our students receive a high quality experience. We also have a 13-point Quality Management System which maintains the standard of coaching within the institute. This includes class audits, regular staff supervision, ongoing training and active integration of student feedback.
Why do we do all this? Because we believe that Quran recitation should be accessible to everyone. You deserve to have the best experience of learning to recite the Holy Quran. The kind of experience that makes you want to recite for the rest of your life.
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.
Partnerships
As a community focused organisation, we also partner with mosques, madaris and other Islamic organisations to set up exclusive courses for their community at a discounted rate. The idea is to supplement existing Quranic activity in the community with a highly professional and different approach that people may resonate with. We don't just want to work with the naturally talented. We want to help the average person in the community.
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 partnerships with select organisations across the world to spread our work to their respective communities. Organisations we are working with include NASIMCO, Africa Federation, and SI Madressa.
For years, we have been over capacity. However, during Wave 1 we are open to partnering with a few more organisations so if you are interested, contact us to find out more.
