Assalaamu Alaikum,
I thought I’ll start Tajweed lessons online as there might be many people out there who don’t know how to read the Qur’an with Tajweed which is very important when we recite the Qur’an, as we should read the Qur’an the way it was revealed and recited by Muhammed (Saw).
The Prophet (saw) said the best of people are those who learn and teach the Qur’an
So why not we use this opportunity to learn the rules of Tajweed and learn how to read the Qur’an properly and recite it the way Prophet Muahammed (saw) did and also try and act upon the hadith to our very upmost!
What is Tajweed?
Tajweed means to recite every letter correctly with its MAKHRAJ and with all its qualities. Tajweed of the Holy Qur’an is the Knowledge and application of the rules of recitation so the reading of the Qur’an is like the Prophet (saw)
MAKHRAJ is where the letters originate from (the part of the mouth where the sounds comes from)
The plural of Makhraj is MAKHAARIJ
How can you learn tajweed?
Tajweed and its application can only be learned with a qualified teacher.
The rules themselves can be studied independently, but their correct application can only be done by listening to, reciting to, and being corrected by, a qualified teacher of the Qur’an.
Manners when reading the Qur'an
Manners of the Heart
A. Understanding of the origin of the words
This is an indication to the greatness of the words being read, and the bounty of Allah; Glorified is He, to His creation when He addressed His creation with these words.
B. Putting into the heart the understanding that these are not the words of man.
Through this the reader should think about the characteristics of Allah the Exalted.
C. Presence of the heart while reading.
Through this the reader should throw away other thoughts while reading the Qur’an.
D. Pondering the meaning.
There is less reward in reciting the Qur'an without understanding the meaning. The Qur'an was revealed for guidance and this can be achieved through recitation accompanied with pondering.
E. Understanding the meaning.
This means interacting and reacting to every verse according to what is proper for it.
F. Individualization
This means that the reader feels that every message in the Qur’an is meant especially for him personally.
External Manners for reading the Qur’an
A. Purity of body and clothes and place.
Using sawak.
B. Facing the Qiblah.
C.Seeking refuge from rejected Satan and reading the basmalah.
Not reading when yawning.
D. Avoiding cutting off reading to talk with people.
E. Stopping at a verse of warning and seeking protection with Allah, and stopping at a verse of mercy and asking The Merciful for His Bounty.
F. Humbleness and crying when reading.
Imam An-Nawwawi may Allah be Merciful to him said: Crying when reading the Qur’an is a characteristic of those who know Allah (know Him through His names and Characteristics) and the feelings of the righteous.
