4. Your recitation *

Record yourself reciting for two or three minutes — Sūrat al-Fātiḥah and a short sūrah is plenty. The Shaykh watches this before your consultation so he can place you on the right package. Record it on your phone; up to 250 MB.

5. Photo identification *

Photo identification is required with every application — a passport, driving licence or other photo ID. A clear photo taken on your phone is fine, or a PDF scan — up to 15 MB. It is stored privately, is only visible to the Shaykh’s office, and is never published anywhere.
