Class Description


The Quran was revealed to be recited beautifully, carefully, and with reflection. Quran 2: Sounds to Words is designed for students who already recognize the Arabic letters and basic harakat and are ready to strengthen their reading fluency while learning foundational tajwid rule.

In this supportive and engaging class, students will practice connecting letters and sounds into smooth Quranic reading while gradually developing confidence in pronunciation and recitation. Students will also be introduced to basic tajwid concepts that help beautify and improve recitation, allowing them to read the Quran with greater accuracy and understanding.

Through guided recitation, repetition, and encouragement, students will continue building a stronger relationship with the Quran while developing consistency, focus, and confidence in their recitation journey. This class is ideal for students who are still developing their reading flow and are not yet fully fluent in Quran recitation.




  • When I joined, I thought it would consist solely of quran recitation (which wouldn't have been bad!). However, there were so many beautiful activities we did that were about the Quran and fostering a relationship with it; I feel like my connection with the Quran is stronger than before, alhamdulillah!

  • I liked the gentle corrections. Anse Hanisah is very sweet and polite 💗

  • Anse Hanisah is a lover of the quran and we can feel it through the screen. She is joyful when she teaches us tajweed and we can't help but fall in love with reciting the quran.

  • I liked that it built my confidence.

  • This class was amazing! I loved how Anse taught us tajweed in such simple way, it made the rules so easy to understand, not only that, but fall in love with reciting the quran!

  • Anse Hanisah was the best part of this class. She was so kind and engaging!

  • Anse's way of teaching is special. She is patient, kind, caring, she is embodying in each and every one of us love for quran and especially the recitation of the quran!

  • Anse explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and has taught me alot.

  • I love how we are able to connect with the Qur'an on a weekly basis due to this class, and Anse is super kind and helped me so much with my recitation

Anse Hanisah Lia Salleh

Anse Hanisah Lia Salleh holds a Bachelor of Science specializing in Human Biology and is currently pursuing an Ijazah in Quran memorisation as well as a teaching certification with the Ribaat Academic Institute. Her Quranic journey began in Oman, where she studied Tajwid under the guidance of a teacher from Libya whose deep love and passion for the Quran left a lasting impact on her. Inspired by her teacher’s devotion, she embarked on a path to improve her recitation and gain a profound understanding of the science of Tajwid. This pivotal experience became the foundation of her unwavering commitment to Quranic studies and her dedication to sharing this knowledge through teaching. While living in Oman, she homeschooled her children in Islamic studies, taught at an Islamic school for expat children, and hosted annual Quran recitation circles during Ramadan. She also played a vital role in organizing halaqat and other Islamic events for the expatriate community in Oman. Anse Hanisah has studied under huffadh from Oman, Libya, Syria, Malaysia, and Egypt and continues her journey towards obtaining her ijazah under Ribaat’s esteemed scholars. Beyond her teaching, she is a multipotentialite with interests in crochet, baking, journaling, reading, photography, and writing, as well as a mother to three beloved cats. She also volunteers as a Ribaat course admin for the Islamic Sciences and Arabic studies and is an enthusiastic volunteer for Masjid Rabata. Looking ahead, Anse Hanisah is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of Quran teachers and hafidhas, ensuring the timeless legacy of Quranic recitation continues to flourish.
