  • SISTERS TALK
We jointly read and discussed  the following article:

The Importance of Tajweed

  • LEARN A TERM

Tajweed: is the science of the rules of recitation of the Quran.  
Reciting with tajweed means that one is applying the rules of tajweed.  
A related word is “Mujawwad”.
Mujawwad: (adjective)       Example: Al Husari Mojawwad

Tarteel: means reading as the Prophet (PBUH) used to recite and as he was
ordered to by Allah. [wa rattil il-Qurana tarteela] (Muzzammil 4). The tafsir of
this aya (according to Ibn Kahteer) is to recite the Qur’an slowly, making the
letters clear because this is an assistance in understanding and pondering the
meaning of the Qur’an. A related word is “Murattal”. When asked about the
meaning of Tarteel, Ali (Radhiallahu Anhu) 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).’ Tarteel (preciseness wisdom
perfection) is a feature of the Quran as it is said in the ayat:

“And we reveal it ayat by ayat (tarteel). (Al-Furkan.32)   
Murattal (adjective)                Example: Al Husari

book, leaving it up to individual sisters to decide if they would like to read the book on their 
own.

Sisters will be encouraged to provide their feedback on the sections covered as well as their
impressions of the book if they decide to read it completely. Communication will be via joint 
emails plus we will be having a Book Club segment as a regular part of our Halaqa in sha Allah.

This is open to all members, but only those who join the Book Club Email List will receive the 
updates etc.  To join, just send a request to us.
