Introduction
What is Tajweed?
The word Tajweed linguistically means ‘proficiency’ or ‘doing something well’. When
applied to the Qur’an, it means giving every letter of the Qur’an its rights and dues of
characteristics when we recite the Qur’an and observing the rules that apply to those
letters in different situations. We give the letters their rights by observing the essential
characteristics of each letter that never leave it. And we give them their dues by
observing the characteristics of each letter that are present in them some of the time
and not present at other times.

The Qur’an was revealed with Tajweed rules applied to it. In other words, when the
angel Jibreel ((AS)) recited the words of Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) he
recited them in a certain way and he showed the Prophet (SAW) the ways in which it
was permissible to recite the Qur’an. So it is upon us to observe those rules so that
we recite it in the way it was revealed.

History of Tajweed
At the time of the Prophet (SAW) there was no need for people to study Tajweed
because they talked with what is now known as Tajweed so it was natural for them.
When the Arabs started mixing with the non-Arabs as Islam spread, mistakes in
Qur’an recitation started appearing, so the scholars had to record the rules. Now,
because the everyday Arabic that Arabs speak has changed so much from the
Classical Arabic with which the Qur’an was revealed, even Arabs have to study
Tajweed.

The purpose of Tajweed


The Qur’an is the word of Allah, and its every syllable is from Allah. Its recitation must
be taken very seriously. The purpose of the Science of Tajweed in essence is to make
the reciter proficient in reciting the Qur’an, observing the correct pronunciation of every
letter with the rulings and characteristics which apply to each letter, without any
exaggeration or deficiency. And so through this the reciter can recite the Qur’an upon
the way of the Prophet pbuh. as he received it from Jibreel who received it from Allah
(SWT) in the Classical Arabic dialect that it came down in.

Arabic letters each have a Makhraj – an exit or articulation point - in the mouth or
throat from which they originate and they also each have Sifaat – attributes, or
characteristics - particular to them. Knowing the Makhraj and Sifaat of each letter is
an important part of Tajweed. Sometimes two letters have very similar exits which
makes mixing them up easy. So if a person does not know the attributes of each
letter there is a danger that he will change the meaning of the words in Qur’an
recitation. Observing the rules of Tajweed in reciting protects the reciter from making
mistakes in reciting the Qur’an.

The ruling of reading with Tajweed


Muhammad bin Al-Jazaree the great Qur’an and Hadeeth scholar of the 9th Century
(Hijri) says in his famous poem, detailing the rules of Tajweed: “And applying Tajweed
is an

1
Reach the goal via Tajweed rule 1st edition

issue of absolute necessity, whoever doesn’t apply Tajweed to the Qur’an, then a
sinner is he.”

So he regarded it as an obligation and he regarded leaving it as a sin. And the


majority of scholars agree that applying the Tajweed rules of Qur’an are an individual
obligation ( ) upon every Muslim who has memorized or read part of or all of the
Qur’an. That is because the Qur’an was revealed with the Tajweed rules applied to it
and the Prophet (SAW) recited it back to Jibreel in that way and the Companions of
the Prophet (SAW) read it in that way, so it is an established Sunnah.

The obligation of Tajweed

The proofs that the scholars bring to show the obligation of Tajweed is that
Allah says in the Qur’an,
∩⊆∪ ¸ξ‹Ï?ö s? tβ#u™ö à)ø9$# È≅Ïo?u‘uρ ϵø‹n=tã ÷ŠÎ— ÷ρr&

The meaning of which is: ‘And recite the Qur’an (aloud) in a (slow and melodious)
style (tarteela)’ (Surah Muzzammil, Ayah 4)

Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA) said in the explanation of this aayah: “at-Tarteel is Tajweed
of the letters and knowing where to stop (correctly)”.[An-Nashr of Ibn Al-Jazaree
209:1]

And of the rights of reciting correctly is reciting it the way it was revealed.
There are various Ahadeeth also showing us the importance of Tajweed. Umm
Salamah was asked about the recitation of the Prophet (SAW) and she described it
as a recitation ‘clearly distinguished letter by letter’.[Tirmidhi]
Sa’eed bin Mansoor relates in his Sunan that a man was reciting the Qur’an to
Abdullah bin Mas’ood and he recited “Innamas sadaqaatu lil fuqara-i wal masaakeen”,
so Ibn mas’ood said: “This was not how the Messenger of Allah (SAW) recited it to
me!” So the man asked, “How did he read it to you oh Aba Abdir-Rahman?” So he
said “Lil Fuqaraaaa-i wal masaakeen”, he elongated the word Fuqaraa and the
knowledge of the different lengths of elongation (mudood) is also from the rules of
Tajweed.

Ibn al-Jazari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Whoever is able to read the
words of Allah with correct Arabic pronunciation but he deliberately pronounces it
incorrectly like a non-Arab, out of arrogance, stubbornness and complacency, or
because he is too proud to go to a scholar who could help him to correct his
pronunciation, is undoubtedly falling short and sinning and being dishonest. The
Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said: “Religion is sincerity: to Allah, to His Book, to His
Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.”

It is not permissible for anyone to deliberately change any letter of it when he is


able to pronounce it correctly. This is a kind of mistake which is a sin. If a person finds
it difficult

2
Reach the goal via Tajweed rule 1st edition

to pronounce the letters correctly – such as people in whose language some of the
Arabic letters, such as ‫ ذ‬, ‫ ظ‬and ‫ خ‬do not exist – they have to try to learn the correct
pronunciation, but if they are unable to master it then they are excused, but their
example should not be followed, and they should be called upon to strive their hardest
to learn and correct their pronunciation. And none of them should lead the prayer,
unless he is leading others like him who cannot pronounce well either. (1)

Mistakes in Tajweed:-
The scholars have divided the types of mistakes one might fall into when reciting the
Qur’an into two types:
1.Clear mistakes and
2.Unobvious (hidden) mistakes.

The Clear mistakes must be avoided by all and to avoid them one must know the
rules of Tajweed. If a person falls into the Clear Mistakes, this is considered a sin and
Ibn Taymiyyah even regarded it undesirable for a Student of Knowledge (i.e.
someone who knows Tajweed) to pray behind a person who makes Clear Mistakes in
their Salaah. As for the Unobvious mistakes, then the ruling on them is lighter and the
recitation of a person falling into this type of mistake is regarded as lacking in
completeness and prayer behind such a person is sound.

Reciting the Qur’an melodiously

The Prophet (SAW) used to recite the Qur’an in slow, measured, rhythmic tones as
Allah had instructed him, not hurriedly, but rather “he would recite a surah in such slow
rhythmic tones that it would be longer than it would seem possible.”[Muslim, Muwatta]
He would stop at the end of each aayah [Abu Dawud]. He commanded people to
recite in a beautiful voice in a pleasant melodious tone. He said “Beautify the Qur’an
with your voices [for a fine voice increases the Qur’an in beauty]”[Bukhari] and he said
“He who does not recite the Qur’an in a pleasant tone is not of us.”[Abu Dawud]

Unfortunately all too often we find people reciting the Qur’an quickly and without
changing their tone and without any feeling. We should put all our efforts into reciting
the Qur’an with as much feeling as we can! Have you ever prayed behind an Imam
who read with feeling? Well the Prophet (SAW) said “Truly the one who has one of
the finest voices among the people for reciting the Qur’an is the one whom you think
fears Allah when you hear him recite.”[Daarimi, Tabaraani]

And once when the Prophet (SAW) complimented Abu Moosaa al-Ash’ari on the
beauty of his recitation, Abu Moosaa said “Had I known you were there, I would have
made my voice more pleasant and emotional for you.”[Bukhari, Muslim]

Let us remember, that the Qur’an is the word of Allah. In it we find exhortations,
warnings, glad-tidings, parables, stories of the past, commands and prohibitions.
Aayaat to make us think, reflect, cry, fear, hope, love, fall down in prostration! How
can we recite all of
1

3
Reach the goal via Tajweed rule 1st edition

this without feeling!? When we recite an aayah of Qur’an we should imagine that we
are trying to feel and convey the full message behind that aayah. Perhaps some of us
don’t feel confident.
I believe that this lack of confidence comes partly from not knowing the rules of
Tajweed correctly and so fearing that we will make mistakes and partly from not
understanding the meaning of what we are reciting. So let us work hard to remove
these two obstacles by learning Tajweed and working towards learning Arabic.

Helpful Tips towards learning Tajweed

* You must find a Qur’an teacher who has studied Tajweed to listen to your recitation
and correct you. Tajweed cannot merely be learnt from books, because the
movements of your mouth as well as the sounds are important and only a teacher can
correct you and make sure you are applying the rules correctly. Qur’an recitation is a
science which was passed down generation by generation through teachers not just
books, with a direct line to the Prophet pbuh.

* Follow this book containing the rules of Tajweed and learn each rule little by little,
applying it as you go along with the help of your teacher. Following the charts will
make it even better to understand and remember the rules InshaaAllah.
* Listen to Qur’an tapes of reciters who recite very clearly (you can find that also at
www.reciter.org), at a medium or slow speed and notice them applying the different
rules of Tajweed. Repeat after them while trying to apply the rules you’ve learnt. Try
to copy their tone and melody as well and see how it changes as the meaning of what
they’re reciting changes.

* Apply the rules you learn to the Surahs you have already memorized and don’t save
any effort about reciting correctly. You might have to revise the surahs by looking
back at them.

* Practice and repetition will make perfect InshaaAllah: As Ibn al-Jazaree says in his
poem about acquiring Tajweed: ‘And there is no obstacle between it (learning
Tajweed) and leaving it, Except that a person must exercise his mouth with it!’

May Allah help us all to give His Book its right when we recite it and make reciting it
more beloved to our tongues than anything else. Aameen.

Tajweed

The linguistic meaning of Tajweed is


(to beautify something).
The technical meaning of Tajweed is
(to give every letter its right with its description and its origination)

Benefits of learning Tajweed


The benefits of learning Tajweed are many as reflected in some
of the following Ahadeeth:
• The reciters of the Qur’an will be in the company of the noble and
obedient angels
‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the
Prophet (SAW) said: “Verily the one who recites the Qur’an
beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company
of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who
recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its
verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” [Al-Bukhari and
Muslim]
• You will be from the best of people
‘Uthmaan, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the
Prophet (SAW) said: “The best of you are the ones who learn
the Qur’an and teach it to others” [Al-Bukhari]
• There are ten rewards for each letter you recite from the Quran
“Whoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will have a
reward. And that reward will be multiplied by ten. I am not
saying that “Alif, Laam, Meem” is a letter, rather I am saying
that “Alif” is a letter, “laam” is a letter and “meem” is a letter.”
[Tirmidhi states this is saheeh]
• The Qur’an will lead you to Paradise!
The Qur’an is an intercessor, something given permission to
intercede, and it is rightfully believed in. Whoever puts it in
front of him, it will lead him to Paradise; whoever puts it
behind him, it will steer him to the Hellfire.” [An authentic
hadith found in At
Tabaraanee, on the authority of ‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood]

Rules of Noon and Meem Mushaddad

• The way of pronouncing:

If a Meem or Noon is Mushaddad (that is, it has a shaddah sign on


it), the reader must do Ghunnah (or Nasal sound) of 2 (beats) on it.

Note: if the reader stops on a word ending with Noon or Meem


Mushaddad, the Gunnah for the Meem or Noon Mushadad still
have to be applied.

Al –Qalqalah

• The meaning of Qalqalah:

Means vibration, it is the vibration of sound at the end


of the pronunciation of a letter.

It can be stated as a state between a Saakin (letter with Sukoon


sign on it) and Mutaharrik (letter with Movement)

Note: Qalqalah is only pronounced when the letter is Saakin


(either the letter has the Sukoon sign or is assigned a sukoon
because of stopping).

• Letters of Qalqalah:

They are collected in the words [!" # $] OR [% & ' ( )]

• Examples:

‫وف ا‬ letters Heavy. 1


-:‫ا‬

They are collected in the phrase


[‫ ]ظ ق ط غ ض ص خ‬OR[ ]

• The way of pronouncing a Heavy Letter:-

The heavy letters have the quality of Isti’laa 2 “rising high”.


Because while pronouncing them, a part of the tongue (mostly
the back part) rises up to the roof makes the letter sound heavy.

‫وف ا‬
letters Light. 2
-: ‫ا‬
All the letters other than the heavy letters and the temporary
heavy and light letters.

• The way of pronouncing Light Letters:

The Light Letters have the quality of Istifaal 3 “falling down”,


by lowering the tongue when pronouncing the light letter.

3. Alif Madd ‫ا أ‬
The quality of Alif Madd being heavy or light depends on the letter
preceding Alif Madd. If the letter before Alif Madd was light, so Alif
Madd should accordingly take a light sound. And if the letter before
Alif Madd was heavy, so Alif Madd should accordingly take a heavy
sound.

Madd Aridh Li-Ssukoon means “temporary Madd for stopping ”. If a


Madd Tabee’ee is followed by a letter at the end of a word, which has
been made Saakin temporarily because the reader has to stop at the
word, the reader should prolong the Madd Tabee’ee to be Madd Aridh

For the sake of simplicity, we will prolong it 4 beats..

Note: This Madd only exists if the reader stops on that word. If
the reader does not stop on it, it should be considered as a
Madd Tabee’ee (2 beats).

This Book,

This book teaches how to recite Quran the way it was


revealed for those who do know how to read Arabic text. It
goes gradually from the simplest rules of Tajweed that can
be applied on the short Surahs that most people know and
recite during Salah. The teacher can teach the rules step
by step and apply them on the way on each Surah starting
from Surah Annas “‫ “ س ا رة‬until the learners can get all
the rules on the way while they are reading from Quran.

May Allah teach us that which benefits us and may He


benefit us with what He taught us.
