Driven by a commitment to the Quran, these individuals are committed to memorising and studying the Quran alongside mastering the rules of Tajweed. The department collaborates with the Sharjah Quran and Sunnah Foundation and the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments to ensure the highest quality of instruction.

In addition to the memorisation sessions, the department has designated 20 mosques throughout Sharjah for Quran recitation correction sessions. This allows participants to refine their pronunciation and recitation techniques.
