Recitation of the Quran with Tajweed starts from Al-Jazariyyah Poem



Ibn Al-Jazari stated in his great poem about the rules of Tajweed.

All high praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad Sallallaahu  `Alayhi Wa Sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Although the text is called tuhfat al atfal (A gift for the children), the term 'atfaal' should not be taken in the literal sense.



The Prophet Sallallaahu  `Alayhi Wa Sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) recited the Quran with the rules of Tajweed as he experienced it from Jibreel, may Allah raise his mention. This Tajweed includes the pronunciation of the letters and their characteristics and all other things that are related to the rules of Tajweed.

Implementing the Tajweed is something considerably obligatory, and whoever reads the Quran without Tajweed is sinful. Because it was revealed as such from Allah, and that is how from Him, it reached us.

The book Al-Waafi of Al Jazariyyah poem, declaring:

"What is determined by that is that Allah revealed the Quran with Tajweed, and the Prophet Sallallahu  `Alayhi wa  Sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) received it orally like this from Jibreel, may Allah exalt his mention. Allah revealed the ability to recite the Quran with Tajweed in the Quran, as Allah says (what means): {…and recite the Quran with measured recitation...} [Quran 73:4] It is known that the Prophet Sallallahu  `Alayhi wa Sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) used to recite the Quran with Tajweed, as it was revealed to him, so though this verse approaches him, what is meant is his nation. It was reported that ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said, 'Measured recitation (Tarteel) is the Tajweed of the letters and the knowledge of pauses and stops.'"

Until he told:

Jazaria an Arabic Language poem. The Quran reached us from Allah through the trustworthy Jibreel with Tajweed to the Prophet sallallaahu  `alayhi wa sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) – as we said – from the Preserved Tablet, and the Prophet sallallaahu  `alayhi wa sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) conveyed it to the Companions, and then the Taabi’is (generation following that of the Companions) and their supporters learned it as such (from generation to generation) to our Shaykhs –  may  Allaah have mercy upon them – with Tawaatur (the multiplicity of the sources of a certain report that leads to certitude in the listener that the report is indeed true) with the description of the Tarteel that covers the Tajweed and the pronunciation and articulation of the letters and their descriptions and all other related matters which are significant in the Arabic language and by which the Quran was revealed. 

Allah says (what means): {And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people…} [Quran 14:4]; so it is an obligation that all the laws of the Arabs be taken into account regarding matters that change the structure or fixed the meaning, and it is desirable regarding matters that make the pronunciation more beautiful. We stated that it is desirable in this kind because the skilled reciters only know hidden mistakes regarding the mispronunciation of the letters r, n, and l."
