While most of the student teachers’ mastery results, from their point of view, indicate that they have an average score of (2.6), a very large with an average (4.0), and that the value of the arithmetic mean is (3.5), that is the performance is highly according to Likert scale, on the availability of Tajweed and recitation skills in the program; the lack of repetitions in some skills were observed, and their increase in others.
