ALLAH
(SWA) ordered us in his holy book to recite the Quran
with tajweed
"recite the quran modulatingly."
the system of tajweed serves as a guide to improve the
style of quranic recitation . It was in this way that
the holy quran was revealed to prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
and also the manner in which he recited it. Therefore,
the reader of the holy quran longs to achieve the promise
of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH):"whoever recites the
quran correctly and proficiently will be with the bountiful
dutiful writers (the angels of the preserved tablet
- Al lauh Al Mahfuz).
Based
on a practical understanding of phonology, we have color-coded
the place of some letters to facilitate the correct
recitation of the holy quran. This had enabled us to
classify these letters within 3 possible categories
to enhance the reader's knowledge and remembrance of
tajweed rules.
-
The letters which requires expanded vocalization.
We used red color to highlight
these letters.
-
The letters which is nasalized. These
letters are green in color.
-
the dark blue color
indicates the emphatic of the letter (R), the
blue color indicates the unrest letters-echoing
sound- (qualquala)
While
the letters which are written but are not pronounced.
These letters are gray in
color.
The
reader will get used to reciting the quran by using
color just as he got used to stopping at red lights
and passing though green lights. By engaging I this
sublime act, the reader will find him self applying
24 rules of tajweed with ease and precision while his
mind is left free to contemplate and understand the
meaning of holy quran.
It
is an honor for Dar Al-Maarifa to offer the holy Quran
in printed form, on a video tape and now on a CD-Rom
disks the use of the CD-ROM disk on the computer allows
the leaner to utilize his auditory/visual senses to
recite and memorize the holy quran with tajweed in a
short time and with the least possible effort.
