Murshid al-Qari-Book One-Tajwid

This book is intended for the beginner in Tajwid. The term beginner is used loosely as it still requires him to at least be familiar with the letters of the Arabic alphabet before being able to take maximum benefit from this book.

The book aims at equipping the student with all the basic rules and theory of Tajwid and therefore won't present too many examples as its focus is the theory. Thus without saying, even though the student will get to understand the theory with the aid of this book he requires an able teacher for the practical aspects of Tajwid.

Even though this book is in an English medium since it is aimed at the English speaking person, it will maintain many of the technical terms used in Tajwid which are originally in Arabic. By translating absolutely everything into English the true essence and luster of Tajwid is lost.

This is the first in a series of books. This book is aimed at simplifying the rules of Tajwid for the beginner. Only after understanding and mastering the first book should the student attempt the second. The second book will be written on a higher level; to understand it the pupil should first master the first book. In this manner, by completing all the books in this series, the student would be exposed to all aspects concerning Tajwid being deliberated in the international arena and by experts alike.
