The concept of Ijaza of Quran, was derived from the concept of narratives of the Hadith, which were the mean to transmit the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad –peace and blessings be upon him.
Ijazah hadn’t exist at the time of Prophet -peace and blessings be upon him- as his companions received Quran from him without Ijazah,
and he received Quran from the archangel Gabriel -peace be upon him- without Ijazah too.
However, Ijazah was intended to proof the bond after its chain was prolonged with the recurrence of Quran transmission.
What is the Ijazah of Quran?
It is a testimony from a sheikh who already had an Ijazah (Mujzi) to a student (Mujaz), that he has recite the entire Quran with perfect
1-memorization,
2-Tajweed
3-proficiency and distinction between the similarities, and that he is qualified as a reader of Quran.
but some sheiks don’t require memorization.

Perfect memorization of Quran is your first step, then you should Study \”Matn\” in Tajweed. Matn is the brief principles which is devoid of explanation and details.

Now you can get an Ijazah in one narrative as \”Hafs from Asim\”, and you should:-
1-memorize the books of \”Matn Al-Shatbya\” and \”Al-Durra\” for the Ijazah in the minor ten readings.
2-memorize \” typat Al-nashr\” for the Ijazah in the greatest ten readings.
Your last step to achieve the dream of getting Ijazah in Quran is to Recite Quran to a sheikh who already had an Ijazah.
Why Do Quran readers seek to get an Ijaza?
It is a great honor to be a Quran reader, memorizer, or holder.
However, getting Ijaza is a dream for every Muslim because it links him to the bond related to Prophet Muhammad -peace and blessings be upon him, it is the proudest boast!
And besides that, getting Ijaza in Quran means reaching a perfect level in reciting Quran,
as the readers get rid of evident and hidden melodies and common mistakes on the public and private tongue of Muslims.
they are called the companions of Quran, as Prophet Muhammad -peace and blessings be upon him- said (Who reads the Quran and who is skilled in it, with the angels of the heaven who are honorable, righteous …..)
Virtues of Ijaza don’t end there, but it extends to the Paradise, as the one who got Ijaza in Quran and is skillful in its reading is in a high level of Paradise.
As Prophet Muhammad -peace and blessings be upon him- said: (It is said to the reader of the Quran: Read, rise, and chant as you used to chant in the world, for your status is at the last verse you read).
