METHODS OF APPLYING THE RULES OF TAJWIID

 The knowledge of Tajwiid can be leanrt and applied in Qur’an recitation through two methods. These are:

1- Talqiin (Guide reading): In this method, a teacher teaches a learner the Qur'an through guide reading method. The teacher reads the Qur'an, applying the rules of Tajwiid, while the learner repeats what the teacher says after him. Ultimately, though ignorant of the principles of Tajwiid, the learner will be able to correctly recite the Qur'an with Tajwiid. This was the only method available to the students of Qur'an throughout the first two centuries of Islam and the major part of the third. Prophet Muhammad learnt the Quran from Jibril and taught it to his students (that is, the Sahabah) through this method.


2- Ta'liim: By this, we mean learning the theoretical principles of Tajwiid along with the practicals. This method was developed by Abuu Muzaahim al-Khaqaanii (d. 325 A.H../947 C.E) towards the end of the third century of Islam. He was the one who first codified and laid down the rules of Tajwiid. He produced the first work on the rules of Tajwiid in poetry.The work is referred to as Raa’iyyat 'Abii Muzaahim, meaning 'Abuu Muzaahim’s Ra'- ending verses of poetry.
