A Classical Primer on Tajwid - Sheikh Sulayman Al Jamzuri - Bog

Tajw¿d (tr. 'making something good or better') is the discipline of proper Qur'anic recitation. It involves pronouncing each letter from its proper point of articulation and consistently giving it its due attributes. It is acquired by listening to those who have mastered it, emulating them, and being tested. Learning the theoretical rules of tajw¿d is a communal obligation (Ar. far¿ kif¿yah), while practicing it is an individual obligation (Ar. far¿ ¿ayn).
This book is a complete, annotated translation of Sheikh Sulaym¿n al-Jamz¿r¿'s Tüfat al-A¿f¿l, a classical didactic poem on tajw¿d, including the section on 'points of articulation' (Ar. mä¿rij al-¿ur¿f) from Imam Ibn al-Jazar¿'s intermediate-level poem on tajw¿d.
