Welcome to ALHUDA Academy
Tajweed is the science and art of improving the recitation of the Holy Quran. It is vital to every Muslim who wants to recite the words of Allah the way he sent them down upon his Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
The main aim obtained from Tajweed is the conservation of proper pronunciation of letters and words that, in turn, minimizes errors in the recitation of the Holy Qur'an.
Tajwid shows devotion and affection for the Book of Allah; in no way are we meant to learn Tajweed rules only. It is then that the beauty of the Arabic language and the splendor of the Holy Quran dawn upon our understanding when we have learned to pronounce the words correctly.
Then, Tajweed’s student can feel the impact of the verses in one's heart, thus enhancing piety and deepening the understanding of religion.
Additionally, Tajweed helps to concentrate and think clearly when reading, which in turn helps a Muslim improve their prayers and other acts of worship.
The one who performs recitation of the Quran with Tajweed elevates to another level of prayer that strengthens belief by being closer to Allah.
Teaching and learning of Tajweed to the new generation not only assures the continuity of the proper way of reciting the Book of Allah “Quran” through time but also protects the Arabic language in its pure form.
This is not only a religious responsibility but also a responsibility toward the language and Islamic culture.
Finally, Tajweed means living near the book of Allah SWT more than merely reading the Quran.
When we learn to recite the Quran correctly, we open our hearts wide for His messages to come inside with greater clarity and depth. And we strength our connection with prophet Muhammad PBUH by performing like him.
The act we do stirs up not only love and respect for His words but also spiritually elevates us; there arises peace inside and emotional relief in our being. With every verse, faith is deepened as one increases one's bond with one's Creator.
What is the science of Tajweed?
It is a set of rules and principles that guide Muslims on how the pronunciation of the letters and words contained in the Holy Quran should be in their genuine sense.
Tajweed simply means making the reading of the Holy Quran better when pronouncing it rightly and in tune, just as it was to the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
Tajweed has many rules regarding the exits of Arabic letters and their attributes, rules of the silent noon and tanween, elongations “ Madd”, and other regulations that improve the reading of Qur’an.
Definition of Tajweed Science
Definitions of Tajweed in the language and Islamic terminology are as follows:
In language: The word "Tajweed" is derived from the linguistic root "good" which means quality and improvement. Therefore, Tajweed means improving and perfecting something. Linguistically, perfection means doing something well and thoroughly, considering every factor that contributes to making it excellent and complete.
In terminology: is a word in Islamic terminology that refers to the science that studies how one can articulate the Holy Quran in the exact manner that it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taking into account rules that protect the articulation and the proper pronunciation of its letters and words.
This is by knowing the exits of the letters, their qualities, rules about the silent nun and tanween, the silent meem, and elongations, among others, that ensure the Quran is recited correctly and proficiently.
Goals and Importance of Tajweed
Correct reading: Tajweed makes it possible for a Muslim to read the Quran as revealed correctly. This helps maintain the words and meanings without distortion or change.
Avoiding mistakes: It helps prevent mistakes that might alter the meanings of the verses in the Holy Quran. Wrong reading may distort meaning; this Muslims avoid, courtesy of the science of Tajweed.
Getting closer to Allah and Prophet Muhammad: Reciting the Holy Quran with Tajweed and its correct rules is worshiping in that whenever a Muslim reads correctly, every letter read correctly is crediting good deeds to the Muslim.
Increasing reverence: A Muslim reading the Quran with Tajweed feels excellent reverence and is more impacted by the meaning of the verses. It, therefore, increases the effectiveness of spirituality and the impact of the Qur'an in the heart and soul.
