Tajwiid is an Arabic word for elocution, meaning proper pronunciation during recitation, as well as recitation at a moderate speed. It is a set of rules, which govern how the Qur'an should be read. It is derived from the trilateral root j-w-d, meaning to make well, make better, or improve. It is required by fard. There are altogether 14 recognised schools of Tajwiid with seven being the most popular.
In defining Tajwiid, the following terms must be understood: Tajwiid, ‘ilmu ’t-Tajwiid and Tajwiidu ’l-Qur’an.
Tajwiid is from the verb 'jawwada' which literally means to decorate, make better or to perfect.Tajwiid therefore literally means betterment, decoration or perfection of an act. Technically, it means the pronunciation of every letter of the Qur'an from its point of articulation with its attributes.
‘llmu ’t-Tajwiid (the art of Tajwiid) is the science dealing with the rules and regulations governing the recitation of the Qur'an the application of which makes the correct recitation of the Qur'an possible.
‘Abdul Warith Sa'id defines ‘ilmu’t-Tajwiid as the science which explains the rules and principles to be followed in the recitation of the Qur’an in accordance with the standard handed down by Prophet Muhammad (SAW). You should understand from ‘Abdul Waarith’s definition that ‘ilmu ’t-Tajwid means the scientific recitation with which the Qur'an was revealed.
Tajwiidu ’l-Qur'an, according to Luqman Jimoh, is the art of reading the Qur'an pronouncing its letters distinctly, giving each of them its full compliment by producing it from its point of articulation and in the correct manner.
From the above definitions, the following points were observed.
1. Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad with Tajwiid.
2. Quran and Tajwiid are inseparable.
3. The art of Tajwiid (‘ilmu ’t-Tajwiid) primarily has to do with the recitation of Quran.
4. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recited the Quran with Tajwiid.
5. Prophet Muhammad taught his students, the companions, the Quran with Tajwiid. 6. Reading the Quran without Tajwiid is equivalent to not giving the Quran its due respect.
