Assalamu alaikum. Alhamdu lillah, we have finally completed the version (Dated: 17th December 2010) of this work that provides you with charts on Rules of Tajweed. We don’t claim to be an expert in this area but we have tried our best to develop this tajweed material by referring to few books. We believe that this material would be useful to those who are teaching Tajweed. Also, this can be used as a reference material. In order to develop this material, we have referred to the following books:1. Moulana Muhammad Ibrahim Sahib Baaqavi, Hidayathus sifyan fi tajweedil Quran, Haadi Publishers, Chennai, India. [In Tamil]2. Dr. Abdul-majid Khan, Tajwid: The art of recitation of the Holy Quran, Urdu Academy Sind, Karachi, Pakistan. [In English]3. ساعدلا ديبع تزع ديوجتلا نف , , Dar Ibn Hajam, Beirut, Lebanon. [In Arabic]

4. Umm Muhammad, A Brief Introduction to Tajweed, Abul-Qasim Publishing House, Jeddah. [In English]

We ask Allah to forgive our shortcomings and accept our efforts. Please provide us with suggestions and/or comments for further improvement. We acknowledge the help of many brothers and sisters in the preparation of this document. May Allah reward them all, aameen. If you face font problems, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our email.Please remember us and our parents in your prayers.

GENERAL RULE:

1. WE MUST STOP AT م . IF NOT, THE MEANING WILL CHANGE.

2. FOR NOTATIONS OTHER THAN م: IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO READ CONTINUOUSLY, YOU CAN STOP AT ANY PLACE. BUT WHILE

CONTINUING, WE SHOULD REPEAT ONE OR TWO WORDS PRECEEDING THE PLACE AT WHICH WE STOPPED.

3. RECITE SENTENCES WITH ةكس OR س OR هفقو IN SINGLE BREATH. هفقو SHOULD BE READ WITH A LONGER PAUSE THAN ةكس OR س .

Note: 1. Don’t stop after the phrase وتالرقبةالصلا او . If you pause, then while continuing read the phrase again.

2. While reading the sentence رعلا بملاين هللا دمحلا , we could pause after the phrase حلامد هللا . But, after the pause, the sentence needs to be read from the start as رعلا بملاين can’t be read separately.

3. In Hafs recitation: At the end of a sentence, if Haa Dameer (ه) is preceded by sukun, then Haa Dameer is not elongated. Otherwise, Haa Dameer is elongated. Exception: يفه مهناا (25:69)
