The significance of Tajwiid is stressed with an injunction of the Quran where Allah says in al-Muzammil 73 verse 4
The Arabic-English dictionary by Mr. Hans Wehr gives the meaning of tartiil to be tajwiid. If we are to go by this meaning, the above verse could be interpreted in Arabic to mean which in English means “beautify the Quran with Tajwiid”.
Every injunction of the Quran has a reasonable objective behind it. The objective behind this injunction is to beautify the Quran by reading it in the best way possible; and by guiding against committing solecism in the course of its recitation. The commitment of solecism in the articulation of vowels and letters of the Quran has great effects on the meaning of the words of the Quran. These effects are errors that result in distortion of the meanings of the Qur'an.
These errors are divided into two.
1. Al-lahnu ’l-jalii (Manifest errors): These errors occur when the reader wrongly places the vowels of the Quran and/or articulates its letters wrongly.
2. Al-lahnu ’l-Khafii (Hidden errors): These are minor and pardonable errors. They can only be noticed by scholars of Tajwiid because they are not as conspicuous as the manifest ones.
