Marhoum Institute

A SAFE SPACE FOR YOUR QURANIC VOICE

Welcome to Your Safe Space!

Our curriculum and engaging methodology combine the science of speech with the art of intoning The Quran (Tajweed). We focus on articulatory phonetics to develop and train your vocal ranges. By the grace of Allah, students walk away mastering the manners of articulation (ṣifat al-ḥurūf) and emission points (makhārij al-ḥurūf) found in The Noble Quran.
A new relationship with The Quran full of growth and self-discovery awaits you.

Introspection with Dr. Ali

"Do they not ponder about the Quran? Verily, if it (The Quran) were from anyone but Allah, they would have found immense discrepancy.” Surah Nisa: Verse 82.
The Quran was introduced to us during a moment of reflection. The Divine Author chose a specific time The Prophet Mohamed (Peace Be Upon Him) was by himself immersed in deep reflection. There is an important implication here: when we are in solitude with the Noble Quran, we open the doors for a heightened state of reflection. The consistent, cohesive language found in The Quran leads us to a direct connection with The Divine Creator. The thought provoking questions Allah asks in His Book stimulates our critical thinking and reasoning. We find a uniformed outlook with each moment of reflection we spend with The Quran.
We can all benefit by taking a break from our hyper-connective world and find a quiet space with just us and The Quran- the incorruptible words of The Creator.
Featured Contributor: Dr. Ahmed K. Ali is a professor, biostatistician and author. He received his PhD at University of Wisconsin- Madison. Dr. Ali held faculty positions at University of Illinois-Urbana-Champagne, King Saud University and Cairo University. He is a senior author in American and International scientific journals earning an honorary distinguished professorship. Currently residing in New Jersey, Dr. Ali enjoys reading Exegesis (Tafseer) by Muslim scholars, joining Quran reading circles, morning walks and playing with his grandchildren.

The Quran is for Everyone 

Why do we make it difficult for ourselves?

Current processes of learning The Quran can be quite intimidating. Understandably, we have immense respect for the official guidebook of Islam. We want to learn The Quran and live by it in its purest form. However, we might sometimes forget that The Author of this Blessed Book is The Most Merciful and The Most Compassionate. A book penned by Allah must be approachable to everyone. 
If we implore The Quran, we find The Author balances linguistic complexity with melodic simplicity to serve as a comprehensive guide for all humanity. In fact, Allah asserts in His book, verse 17 of “The Moon” Chapter:
“And indeed, we have eased the (language) of The Quran for remembrance; so who then shall be mindful?"
Whether you consider yourself a novice or an advanced student of The Noble Quran, you will find Marhoum Institute a safe and nurturing space for your Quranic voice.

Biography 

Illustration

Sheikh Abdellah Marhoum's study of the Quran started from an early stage of his life “making him a Hafiz” at the young age of 14. He followed the narration paths tracing back to the noble individuals mentored directly from the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Sheikh Marhoum obtained Ijazza in reciting The Quran in seven different ways. He has been taught different schools of thought in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and Quranic intonation by renowned Scholars and Sheikhs including Hussein Merdas, Al-Samadi, and Al-Aeshi.
Serving as an Imam in Boston from 2008-2009, Sheikh Marhoum garnered popularity in leading prayer due to his resonating recitations. Subsequently, he was invited by an established Islamic Center in the Washington D.C area to lead prayers during Ramadan. His Family became attached to the vibrant Muslim community in the D.C area and have been residing there ever since. Sheikh Marhoum has been blessed with leading congregational prayers for communities from Boston to Charlotte and in collaboration with notable top Shuyukh. Given the opportunity, Sheikh Marhoum has lectured, recited in major universities and conventions attributing all praises to Allah.

    He relishes the opportunity to teach the Quran to anyone interested. Sheikh Marhoum focuses on simplifying Tajweed rules for all generations to read the Quran in its proper form. He strives to teach the Quran in methods that are commensurate with our current time. Sheikh Marhoum encourages all generations to use the Quran as a moral compass for their daily decision-making. He wishes to gain his reward in Jannah by preserving the Quran as a vivid, present possession for anyone to have.
    May Allah guide us all to His righteous path.

Student Feedback

Abdullahi Abdishakur

If you know anyone who has children and is looking for a strong Quran program now is the best time to register them with Sheikh Abdellah Marhoum...He's by far the best reciter I've listened to here in the DMV. If you're a parent or a guardian seeing this post don't be a fool and take your kids elsewhere. I'd recommend that you guys message him directly here on Facebook. The DMV will be blessed with so many kids who'll be able to recite like him .
