What is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the the set of rules governing the way in which the words of the Qur’an should be pronounced during its recitation.
_
Al Hafidh Abu Al ‘Izz al Qaalaneesi رحمه الله is very strict in Tajweed, he has verses of poetry in which he says:
يا سائلا تجويد ذا القرآن
Oh you who asks regarding the Tajweed of this Qur’an
فخذ هديت عن أولي الإتقان
Take your guidance from those who have achieved perfection,
تجويده فرض كما الصلاة
Reading it with Tajweed is Fard just like Salah,
جاءت به الأخبار والآيات
Many Ahadeeth and Ayaat have come about it,
وجاحد التجويد فهو كافر
And the one who denies Tajweed is a disbeliever,
_
The Shaykh explains this (watch the video), as the one who says “What is Tajweed? There is nothing called Tajweed, it’s nothing, read as you please…”
فدع هواه إنه لخاسر
So leave his opinion, indeed he is a loser!
وغير جاحد الوجوب حكمه
And the one who doesn’t deny Tajweed, (But doesn’t read with Tajweed either) the ruling for him is,
معذب وبعد ذاك إنه
Tormented, and after that,
يؤتى به لروضة الجنات
He will be brought forth to the Gardens of Jannah,
كغيره من سائر العصاة
Like any other disobedient
إن الصلاة منهم لا تقبل
Indeed Salah from them is not accepted,
ولعنة الله عليهم تنزل
And the curse of Allah descends upon them,
لأنهم كتاب الرب حرفوا
Because they changed the book of Allah
__
سبحان الله
Have we even thought of Tajweed in such manner or seriousness?
NOTE: This is regarding those who can’t recite and also don’t try to learn the correct way either.
Those that do make an effort, aren’t being included.
_
Perhaps some of you are asking,
Why so strict?
Well read that last line again,
لأنهم كتاب الرب حرفوا
Because they changed the book of Allah.
If a person makes no attempt at learning and struggles, and he reads the Qur’an wrong by pronouncing letters incorrectly, or misreading the Harakaat and not applying the Tajweed rules,
Then he is not reading the Qur’an as it was revealed and is thus changing it.
And changing the Qur’an is a direct challenge to Allah ﷻ who said He is the One who will preserve it.
And Who is able to challenge Allah ﷻ?
_
Our Prayer also depends on it! Can a persons Prayer be of good quality if he stands before Allah ﷻ unable and unwilling to recite Surah Fatiha properly?
_
Attachment to Qur’an depends on it! Can you be attached to a book and enjoy it when you can’t read it properly?
No!
Everyone please make an effort to learn Tajweed and recite the Qur’an in a proper manner..
_
May Allah ﷻ make us among those who can recite the book of Allah ﷻ with correct Tajweed.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
