Tajweed Rules for Adults Book 7

Introduction – Part Seven: Tajweed Series for Adults

All praise is due to Allah, who revealed the Qur’an in the most perfect form—unchanged, preserved, and full of wisdom for all time. Each word, each letter, and even the way the Qur’an is written has divine precision. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who recited the Qur’an with beauty and taught it with care, preserving not only the sounds of the words but also their meanings and writing. As ʿĀ’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:
“His character was the Qur’an.”

We are pleased to present Part Seven of the Tajweed Series for Adults. This part focuses on some of the deeper and more detailed elements of Qur’anic recitation—specifically, the writing styles and special forms found in the Mus'haf (the written Qur’an). It also introduces the Qirā’āt, the authentic and preserved ways of reciting the Qur’an that were passed down from the Prophet ﷺ through trusted chains of narration.
