Description

The Qur'an is Islam's Book of Divine Guidance. It is in Arabic, and is the spoken word, or kalam, of Allah (God). It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) via Archangel Jibrael (A.S) more than fourteen centuries ago. It has laws and commands that govern how Muslims should live, communally and individually. Unparalleled by any other book in the world, it has the unique honor of being memorized in its entirety by hundreds of thousands of Muslims, those who understand its Arabic, and also those who do not. Another distinguishing quality of this book is that its recitation is an act of worship, one which draws the reciter closer to Allah and earns him a multitude of reward. It also exalts his or her status among the Muslims.
Recite that which has been revealed to you of the Book and keep up prayer; surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil, and certainly the remembrance of Allah is the greatest, and Allah knows what you do. [Surah Al-Ankaboot: 45]
Tajweed literally means to beautify or adorn something. In Islamic terminology, it means the skill of reciting the Quran.
We should strive to recite the Quran the way it is supposed to be recited, observing all the rules of tajweed.
