Noorani Qaida

The first rule before starting to read the Quran is to understand letters and words properly. There are multiple courses and texts or Arabic Qaida available to learn Arabic but the best recognized and most used among them is the Noorani Qaida.

Proper Recitation of Holy Quran

Allah (swt) says in the Quran, ‘Those to whom We have given the Book and they recite it observing the rights of its recitation…they are the ones who believe in it. And those who disbelieve in it they are the losers.’ (Surah Baqarah, Ayat 121)

Hazrat Uthman (ra) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “The best amongst you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it.” (Bukhari, Abu Dawood, Tirmizi Nasai etc.)

Hazrat Ibn-e-Masood (ra) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “Whosoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah (swt) is credited with one blessing and one blessing is equal to tenfold the like thereof in its reward, I do not say that ‘Alif Laam Meem’ is one letter, ‘Alif’ is one letter, ‘Laam’ is one letter and ‘Meem’ is one letter.” (Tirmizi)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Aamir (ra) reports that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “On the Day of Judgement, it will be said to the man devoted to the Qur’an, ‘Go on reciting the Qur’an and continue ascending the storeys of Jannah (paradise) and recite in the slow manner you had been reading in worldly life, your final abode will be where you reach at the time of the last ayat of your recitation.” (Tirmizi, Abu Dawood, Nasai, Ibn-e-Maajah, Ahmad, etc.)

The recitation of the Qur’an is a supreme ibaadah or worship and its benefits are so abundant and profuse that research texts still continue to be written on the subject and yet more can be written. Just like it is a supreme ibaadah, similarly it is incumbent upon the reader to keep in full consideration the required courtesy and etiquettes of recitation such as the tajweed. If this is not done carefully, there are greater chance of the reader earning Allah’s (swt) displeasure rather than pleasure. Hence everyone should attempt to learn and correct their recitations according to the prescribed rules.

It is with keeping in mind this virtuous purpose that this course has been started; to impart the proper etiquettes of Qur’an recitation, most particularly tajweed rules. Reading Qur’an without keeping in mind the rules of tajweeed rules is like attempting to understand the works of Shakespeare in English literature without first learning the English alphabets. Therefore, it is everyone’s prime responsibility to learn to read and understand the teachings of Allah (swt) and His Prophet Muhammad (saw) as it is due upon every Muslim.

How Does It Help?

This course helps to teach different ways of making Qur’an recitation better, correct, and more refined. The main emphasis is on tajweed rules because without first learning proper pronunciation of the Arabic letters, it is impossible to correctly read Allah’s (swt) words.

Why This Course?

We feel this course a necessity for both the amateur and seasoned Qur’an readers because no matter what the age of the reader and the proficiency of reading, there is always room for improvement when it comes to adding more finesse to reciting the most valuable words in the world; the words of Allah (swt).

Tajweed Course

Introduction

The first rule before being able to read the Holy Quran in a proper manner, one needs to properly understand the letters and words of Arabic. For this purpose, numerous courses, books, and Arabic Qaidas are available, but the best recognized and most used among them is the Noorani Qaida. The reason for this is the ease with which it attempts to teach the rules of Arabic language learning. This is why we have also chosen to use the Noorani Qaida for this course.

Tajweed and Its Importance

The correct pronunciation and proper delivery of Arabic letters is called Tajweed. The importance of tajweed can be evaluated by the fact that if the letters of Arabic are not pronounced according to the exact determined rules then it can completely alter the entire meaning of the word. This in turn (may Allah (SWT) forgive us all for our errors) changes the literal meaning of the Quran and hence rendering the reader’s Salah void, and his/her recitation of the Quran text wrong.

For instance, the letters ‘ز’, ‘ظ’, ‘ذ’, ‘ض’. ‘ذَلَّ’ means that he has been humiliated, ‘زَلَّ’ means that he slipped, ‘ظَلَّ’ means that he gained shade or protection, and ‘ضَلَّ’ means that he went astray. It is just with the slight error in pronunciation that the entire meaning of the words, sentences, and concept changes. Therefore, tajweed in Quran is of critical importance. Children need to be taught this correctly from the start and adults need to correct their recitation when the error has been acknowledged.
