Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will I receive an ijaazah after completing the memorization of the Quran?

No. After completing the One Ayah A Day course, a student will be awarded a certificate only. To receive an approved ijaazah, join our Ijaazah program. For more details, visit: http://www.iou-gqmc.com/ijazah/

What certificates will I receive upon successful completion of the course?

You will be granted a Certificate of Completion of the juz you have successfully memorized.

Will the live classes be recorded?

Yes, the live sessions are recorded. This is to have evidence in case of any complaint from the student’s side or from the teacher. In this way, the administrator has the opportunity to return to the recording and investigate the problem. Note that the recordings are kept under highly restrictive secrecy, and they are automatically removed from Zoom every two weeks.

Will I receive a certificate upon memorization of some surahs?

The students of our One Ayah A Day program will be granted a certificate upon memorizing complete juz (chapters).

Where does the study take place?

The International Open University is an online educational resource. The entire program is taught online via the Internet. Anybody from any part of the world can join easily and benefit from it, in sha Allah.

I have already memorized some surahs/juz. Will I have to memorize them again with the teacher?

In such cases, you will be requested to recite the parts of the Quran which you have already memorized to the teacher, and then you may continue your study according to your scheme, in sha Allah.

What if I have a slow Internet connection?

Since the program is completely based on live classes, it would be better for the students to have a high-speed Internet connection to make the best use of all the services. Students who have a slow Internet connection or some circumstances could memorize with their teacher by sending the recorded recitation through other platforms, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. (upon previously made arrangement with the instructor) provided that they attend one live evaluation session per week.

Is an English language certification like TOEFL or IELTS required?

No. English language certification is not a requirement to apply for the One-on-One Quran Memorization program. However, you should be aware that English is the medium of instruction in the entire program.

Do I need to pay any fee to study?

Yes, you need to pay a modest registration fee for each month you are enrolled in.

I have received an email to reupload my photo/ID scan. What do I do once I have taken care of that?

Once you have reuploaded your photo/ID scan, email us at gqmc.helpdesk@iou.edu.gm so that we may verify the status of your uploads, in sha’ Allah.

What is a photo ID?

A photo ID is a legal identity document with your photograph in it (e.g. national ID card, passport, driver’s license, etc.). The document must be valid and include your full name and birth date.

How do I virtually sign the disclaimer form?

After reading the disclaimer carefully, sign it in the registration form by ticking the last box “Disclaimer” which states: “I have read and agree to the Disclaimer Form of GQMC”. There is no need to submit a document with your traditional signature.
