Assalamualaikum Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Just like how we like to keep ourselves updated along the time, we must keep our Tajweed up to date. Meaning, there is more to the recitation of the Qur’an then just the words or tune and the rhythm.
The person who reads the Qur’an without Tajweed is like someone walking in a garden full of beautiful flowers and crushing those beautiful flowers cruelly just because he doesn’t know how to take care of them – Dr. AbdulAzeez AbdulRaheem.
So, we need to learn Tajweed, take care of it and brush it up time to time so that we are not making or repeating any mistakes knowingly or unknowingly in the recitation of the Qur’an.
Allah says: ’وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيل’ ’and recite the Qur’an with measured recitation’’. (Surah Muzammil, Ayat # 3).
So, we are supposed to beautify our recitation with proper Tajweed applying all rules and characteristics properly.
