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.

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).
