Talk:Tajwid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Personal note: I once saw a mosque's Imam reciting with what seemed to be a Texan accent... So while Tajwid is important, it isn't omnipresent. --LeoNomis 21:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
--http://www.quranicstudies.com/article21.html--------- That is unfortunate that the imam didn't recite the Qu'ran properly.
Allah Ta'ala says, "And recite the Qur'an with Tarteel (slow, pleasant tone and style)." (Qur'an 73:4)
Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Indeed Allah desires that the Qur'an be recited in the manner it was revealed.'
Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu) was asked about the meaning of this. He replied, 'It means that the Qur'an should be recited with Tajweed and with due observance to the rules of Waqf (pausing or stopping at the end of the verse).
Due to the vastness of the Arabic language, any small mistake in pronunciation of a letter or word may change the meaning of that word. For example, the word 'Qalb' (with q) means heart, if read 'Kalb' (with k), it will mean a dog'.
