Partner with the Global Ijazah and Sanad Project

Islamic universities, institutes and shuyukh all keep their students' ijazat in their own records, where no one outside can see them. This register brings these ijazat together in one verified place and connects their chains across countries, so the world can see your students' achievements.

Why record an ijazah

  • Kept for ever

    Most ijazat are paper that can be lost or damaged. The register keeps them permanently.

  • A witness after the shaykh

    Once a shaykh has passed away, an ijazah is often hard to prove. The register still stands as its witness.

  • Confirmed by the shaykh himself

    The granting shaykh can confirm from his own account that he granted the ijazah.

  • The whole chain on one page

    The chain is shown shaykh by shaykh, all the way to the Prophet ﷺ.

  • Checked in seconds

    Anyone can verify an ijazah from one link or QR code, instead of asking for the paper.

  • Connected across the world

    Every certificate is linked to the others, so chains are checked against each other: each match strengthens a chain, and a gap or conflict shows as a weakness. It gathers the chains of the people of the Qur'an in one place for the generations to come.

A trust score on every step of the chain

  • Automated checks

    Each step is checked automatically: the date falls within the granting shaykh's lifetime, his name matches across certificates, and each link is attested by other documents and the printed books of chains.

  • Human review

    Specialists read every certificate, and the granting shaykh's own confirmation counts according to his standing in the register.

  • A grade on every step

    The points add up to a trust grade for each certificate and for each shaykh in its chain, from recorded to verified, and it is recalculated whenever new evidence arrives.

What it brings to your students, teachers and institute

  • Your students

    A permanent page, number and QR code for each ijazah, which anyone anywhere can check.

  • Your shuyukh and teachers

    A page for each shaykh with every ijazah he granted, his chains to the Prophet ﷺ, and his tree of students: who read with him, whom they went on to grant, and where in the world they are. It also shows the different forms of his name and his place in each chain.

  • Your institute

    Its own page that gathers the ijazat it has granted, seen by students and teachers around the world.

Ways to work with us

  • Record your students' ijazat

    Upload them with your students' permission. It takes a few minutes and is free.

  • Have your shuyukh confirm them

    Each shaykh receives a private link to confirm the ijazat he granted, or to ask for a correction.

  • Become a partner institute

    Name your institute and its page starts gathering the ijazat it has granted.

  • Review chains with us

    Teachers who know the sciences of isnad can help us read and check the chains.

What happens after you upload

  1. A specialist reads the pages and records the chain exactly as written in them.
  2. You receive the result: published, held until something missing is provided, or not accepted. The same standard applies to your own ijazah and to one you granted a student.
  3. Once published, it has its own page, number and QR code, and you can invite the shaykh to confirm it.

We publish each certificate's main details with a confidence rating, built by comparing it with other certificates and with specialists in isnad around the world. The scan itself is shown only if its holder chooses.

The register records ijazat in Qur'an recitation only, and it takes time to build: recent ijazat are still being added. It is separate from earning an ijazah through Kuttab lessons, which has its own path.
