The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “Brighten up your houses through the recitation of the Qur’an, and do not make them (your homes) like graves, similar to what the Jews and Christians have done (by not performing the prayers and worship of God in their house and limiting this to the Synagogues and Churches).”Usulul Kafi, Volume 2, Page 610 1. Its definitionBy linguistic definition: Betterment Applied definition: Articulating every letter from its articulation point and giving the letter its rights and dues of characteristics. Rights of the letters are its required characteristics that never leave it. The dues of the letters are its presented characteristics that are present in it some of the time, and not present at other times. i.e. the medd, idgham 2. Its formation The words of the Glorious Qur'an and some said Honorable Hadiths also. 3. Its fruits It is preserving the tongue from mistakes in pronunciation of the Glorious Qur'an during reading. 4. Its precedence It is one of the most honored of sciences and one of the best of them due to its relation to Allah’s words. 5. Its place within the sciences It is one of the Islamic Law sciences that are related to the Glorious Qur'an. 6. Its founder The rule setter from the practical point of view is the Messenger of Allah because the Qur'an was revealed to him from Allah, the most High, with tajweed, and he, was instructed on it from the Trustworthy, Jibreel, peace be upon him, and taught it to his companions, who then taught it to their followers and so on until it came to us by these chains. The rule setter from the scientific point of view is Imam Ali (a.s.) the nearer and most trusted of Prophet(peace be upon him and his family). 7. Its precept Knowledge of tajweed is fardh kifayaah, meaning some of the Muslim community must know it, and its application is fardh ‘ain, required by all Muslims (men and women) who have the complete Qur'an or part of it memorized, even if only one surah. 8. Reasons for its rules Guarding the Glorious Qur'an and preserving it from distortion. The Arabs mixed with non-Arabs after the spread of Islam, and the Muslims feared that the Arab tongue would become corrupted with this intermixing. It then became mandatory for rules to be put down that would preserve the recitation of the Qur'an from mistakes, and guarantee the reader of the Qur'an integrity of pronunciation. 9. Its principles The knowledge of tajweed is contingent on four matters: 1. Knowledge of the articulation points of the letters 2. Knowledge of the characteristics of the letters 3. Knowledge of what rules change in the letters due to the order of letters 4. Exercising the tongue and a lot of repetition. قالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ ابْنُ أَبِي طالِبٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ):تَعَّلَمُوا الْقُرآنَ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْحَدِيثِ وَ تَفَقَّهُوا فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ رَبِيعُ الْقُلُوبِ وَ اسْتَشْفُوا بِنُورِهِ فَإِنَّهُ شِفاءُ الصُّدُورِ وَاحْسِنُوا تِلاوَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْفَعُ الْقَصَصِ. Amirul Mo’minin ‘Ali ibne Abi Talib (peace be upon him) has said: “Learn the Qur’an for it is the best of narrations, and understand it thoroughly for it is the best blossoming of the hearts. Seek cure with its’ Light for it is the cure of the hearts. Recite it beautifully for it is the most beneficial of narrations.” Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 110 (109 in some books) قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ): إِنَّ هذَا الْقُرآنَ هُوَ حَبْلُ اللّهِ وَ هُوَ النُّورُ الْمُبِينُ وَ الشِّفاءُ النّافِعُ فَاقْرَوُؤهُ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ عَزَّوَّجَلَّ يُؤْجِرُكُمْ عَلى تِلاوَتِهِ لِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرَ حَسَناتٍ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “Surely this Qur’an is the rope of Allah, and a manifest Light (nur), and a beneficial cure. Therefore, busy yourselves with the recitation of it, for Allah - The Mighty and Glorious – grants the reward of ten good deeds to you for every letter which is recited.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 92, Page 19 قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ): لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ حِلْيَة وَ حِلْيَةُ الْقُرآنِ الصَّوْتُ الْحَسَنُ. The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “For every thing there is an embellishment (or a decoration), and the embellishment of the Qur’an is a good voice.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 92, Page 190 قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ): مَنْ قَرَأَ أَرْبَعَ آياتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُوْرَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ أَيَتَيْنَ بَعْدَها وَ ثَلاثَ آياتٍ مِنْ آَخِرَها لَمْ يَرَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَمالِهِ شَيْئاً يُكْرِهُهُ وَ لا يقريه شَيْطانُ وَ لا يَنْسى الْقُرآنَ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “Whoever recites the first four verses of Suratul Baqarah, Ayatul Kursi (verse 255 of Suratul Baqarah) along with the two verses which follow it (verses 256 and 257 up to ‘Wa Hum Fiha Khalidun’), and the last three verses (of this same Surah) will not see any bad or sorrow in his life or his wealth; Satan will not come near him; and he will not forget the Qur’an.” Thawabul A’mal, Page 234 قالَ الإِمامُ جَعْفَرُ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصّادِقُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ): يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرآنَ إِذا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرآنِ فِيها مَسْأَلَة أَوْ تَخْوِيف أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اللّهَ عِنْدَ ذلِكَ ما يَرْجُوا وَ يَسْأَلَهُ الْعافِيَةِ مِنَ النّارِ وَ مِنَ الْعَذابِ.
Imam Ja’far ibne Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: “It is advisable for the person who is reciting the Qur’an that when he reaches to a verse from the Qur’an in which there is a request for something that he ask Allah for that thing, or when he reaches to a verse of the Qur’an in which there is talk about the punishment, that he ask Allah for protection from the fire of Hell and the punishment.” Usulul Kafi, Volume 3, Pages 1-3 قالَ رَسُولُ اللّهِ (صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ): فَضْلَُ الْقُرآنِ عَلـى سائِرِ الْكَلاَمِ كَفَضْلِ اللّهِ عَلى خَلْقِهِ.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) has said: “The superiority of the Qur’an over the rest of words, is like the superiority of Allah over His creations.” Mustadrak al-Wasa’il, Volume 4, Page 237 |
