Tajweed o Qirat course
لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ بِالقُرْآنِ
Abu Huraira (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
“The one who does not recite the Qur’ān in a melodious manner is not from us”
What is Tajweed and Why it’s essential?
The word Tajweed linguistically means ‘proficiency’ or ‘doing something well’. It comes from the same root letters as the word ‘Jayyid’ in Arabic (meaning ‘good’): Jeem, Waw and Daal. 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 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 it, without any exaggeration or deficiency. Through this, the reciter can recite the Qur’an according to the way of the Prophet (PBUH), who received it from Jibreel who received it from Almighty Allah in the Classical Arabic language.
