ABOUT THE COURSE
To begin with the question “how to become a Quran teacher”, we should define what is the meaning of teaching the Quran? As it is the first step to understand the nature of this way. Quran is the last message of Allah the Almighty that he sent to human beings to guide them to their happiness in this life and in the Hereafter. In Quran, Allah the Almighty guides His servants to the straight path, how to maintain their interests and how to lead a just life system in their relationship with their Creator, their selves and the world around them.
Thus, the first duty of the Muslim to deal well with Quran and to address the question “how to become a Quran teacher?“ is to understand the purpose and messages of the Quran in order to be able to make good use of it in his life. In other words, Muslim should understand the messages of the Quran to applytheir commands. This is the high priority.
Then, as a means, Muslims should learn the Arabic letters and Tajweed rules to be able to read Quran like the way that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) read. Accompanying this phase, Muslims can go through the memorization of the Quran.
The most important thing here is to understand that the Quran teacher is a model;deeds speak louder. Thus, it is not suitable to ask people to do the above mentioned points while he doesn’t care of having a personal lifelong experience in this regard.
Allah the Almighty condemns this case in Quran many times, like in As-Saf Chapter. Allah the Almighty says:
“ O you who have attained faith, why do you say what you do not do?
It is most loathsome to Allah that you say what you do not do,” [Quran, 61: 2, 3].
As a Quran teacher, you should realize these items well in order not to mislead others. Indeed, it is a big responsibility you are to bear.
