I know you can't properly learn the rules of Tajweed without a person being next to you teaching it, but I know you caqn get an idea from reading about it.

My question is: What are some rules of Tajweed? I've read on this site that you aren't supposed to move your upper lip unless you are pronouncing و (Waw, or "W"). Is this true? What are some other rules? JazakAllahu Khair.

Wa alaykum Salam,

Yes it is true, but without being rude, I do not think this is the place to ask such questions. People are very ignorant about these rules and the one you stated is not very known amongst either the Quran teachers or the reciters.

I think I wrote that in a post about a Shaykh before. I may have removed that post, it sounded too personal and I dont want people get wrong idea, If you want it back let me know..

That was just an example of the precision in teaching that Shaykh Ubaid Allah al Afghani in Masjid Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque) taught, He had isnaad (chain of narration ) going back to the Prophet :saw: and his knowledge of the Quran and its Tafsir was very great.

That was the way he would teach me, and it was very difficult!! He insisted that I practise reading infront of a mirror.

I dont think you should worry too much about that rule, I had to read like that and enforce many of the other rules including reading the Daal (which is in word Dhaleen) like a Zaal in (Zalimun) - this different to how 99% of reciters read. So, if people heard me recite that letter, they might think I am making a mistake!

But, the Shaykh insisted that everyone read like that because he had the evidence from the books of Tafsir and from the reciters of the past, and as he has proper Isnaad going back to the Prophet:saw: so how could I not accept!

You do not need to read the waaw like that, as you have not been taught like that by someone who has the evidence and knowledge to teach you. Its like a rally driver or f1 driver being taught more precision compared to someone who is just wanting to drive. And Allah knows best.

You will need a proper Quran teacher though, if you are going to learn to read Quran according to the Tajweed. So, it starts with knowing exact pronounciation of each letter, where you should start where you should stop. Correct breathing, timing and so forth. The amount of proper reciters who have Isnaad and can read very very well you can count on your fingers. There are not many around, but, alhamdulilla they are teachers.

I recommend you try your best with whatever resources you can use. Use Quran Mp3 by Hosari, Manshawi, Abdul Baset Abdussamad, Hudhayfi,

you could put it up on 4shared.com

it is free and provides a way to upload information for the time being.

but like what has been mentioned in previous posts, it is very important to sit with someone who is sharp with identifying your makraj to perfect it. No book or video can do that. By the way the teacher doesn't go through the whole Quran with you, he will walk you through a juz or so and make sure you pronounce correctly as well as the rules. It really is worth paying for if it is available.

:salam2: Brother Mabsoot.

Dand bro, you sure know your Islamic knowledge! :) Is Shaykh al Efghani (RA) still in Masjid an Nabbawi though, so, if I go there, in like, 4-5 years, he'll be able to teach me? Because I'd really like that. :D

Inshallah, I'll be a GREAT Qari and Alim one day, Inshallah. :( *sigh* I'm just not feeling confident though, because I just feel like as if I always make mistakes and do stupid things (meaning falling into shortcomings). :( But May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla forgive me for not being his Good Slave, and may he have me to increase in Piety. :( Ameen.

Make dua for me, brothers and sisters, and then Inshallah, maybe one day I can be a great Alim, like maybe Sheikh ibn al Taymiyyah (RA), Inshallah. :)

Rules of Tajweed, easy tajweed rules

The Importance of learning Tajweed in quran when doing Quran Reciting

The reciter of the holy Quran should observe all rules of Tajweed when reciting the Qur’an.
Some reciters, may dismiss the Tajweed rules as an innovated thing which was not practiced by the previous generations.
In fact some schools do not even bother with these rules, and teach the children, in any manner.
Later when these children start leading people in prayer, many major mistakes can be noticed.
We should try our best to educate ourselves and our children with these very important rules.
At the time of the Companions they did not learn the Tajweed as a knowledge, because all of them could read Quran properly. The Qur’an was revealed in their language.
In that time, they did not even need to put dots on the letters. They could differentiate between them easily. After a few generations, after the Muslims started conquering and the people entered Islam in large numbers, people could not read the Qur’an properly. So they put dots and rules how to read and do quran memorization online.
Allah, the Exalted says,
‘And recite the arabic Quran with Tarteel’
Tarteel is reading the Qur’an appropriately and beautifully. One cannot recite the Qur’an appropriately and beautifully unless he is applying all rules of Tajweed! and quran tutors should be guiding the students wile teaching quran

Al-Isti’aatha and al-Basmallah
It is Mustahabb (loved) to recite the Isti’aatha before reciting the Qur’an.
‘And when you read the Qur’an make isti’aatha from the Shaitan.’
It is waajib (compulsory) to say Bismillah at the beginning of the Sura, except when reciting Sura at-Tawbah (also called Sura al-Bara’ah).
As for Bismillah in the middle of the surah, it is up to the reciter to say it or not.

Rules of Istiadthah and Basmallah
It has four rules:
1.Qatt’ al-Jamee: To say the Istiadthah, the Basmallah and the beginning of the surah separately.
e.g. (Isti’adthah--Bismillah--Surat).
2.Qatt’ al-Awal: To say the Istiadthah separately then the Basmallah and the beginning of the Surat.
e.g. (Isti’adthah--Bismillah/Surat).
3.Wasl-Al-Awwal: To say the Istiadthah joined with the Basmallah, then to say the beginning of the Surat separately.
e.g. (Isti’adthah/Bismillah--Surat).
4.Wasl Al-Jamee: To say Istiadthah joined with Basmallah joined with beginning of Surah.
e.g. (Istiadthah/Bismillah/Surat).

I think I make mistakes in tajweed when I'm reciting the Qur'an - so, is that considered a sin? (I listen to tajweed lessons online and repeat after each verse btw, and I don't have a teacher) :/
