Me

Bismillah.

Asalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Ta’ala Wa Barakatuh.

I have started up this blog to spread the knowledge I gain from learning Arabic and Tajweed.
I hope you benefit from my posts. Buzz through a comment or email me here if you need any clarification on anything. If you have any suggestions for improvement, I’m all ears.


Please know that all credit is due to everyone who has taught me and provided me with invaluable resources. May Allah reward you.

Jazakum Allahu khair,
Wassalam.

    By the way, I have given a link to this beautiful blog of yours in my Qur’an blog under Tajweed menu.
    Vassalam.

  3. Your wonderful blog reminds me of my childhood days when I used to learn tajweed rules from my ustaaz. My ustaaz used to keep a small notebook, and he would write all the rules there for us.

    To be honest, reciting the Book of Allah with tajweed makes a huge difference. I have always emphasized on reciting the Quran with correct tajweed, and after many years of practicing and listening, it has somewhat become a second nature for me. However, I believe that there are yet many rooms for improvements in my tajweed. May be you can listen to my qurra and give me some feedback on specific areas where I need to improve:

    (Surah Dhariat recited by me)

    (Surah Ahqaaf recited by me)

    (I am a greatest Sheikh Shuraim fan, and although I have my own unique style of recitation, I cannot help reciting like him)

    • Ahh… Masha Allah, tabarak Allah! What wonderful recitations, I could almost imgaine Sheikh Shuraim in front of me!

      From listening to the recitations, I deduced a couple of things:
      1. you’re not of Arab decent. Please correct me if I’m wrong, and I really apologise if I am. It’s just what I felt, of course, there’s no shame in that, I just find accents to be a very amazing thing.

      2. Your reading is very good masha Allah, however there were a few tajweed mistakes.
      I’m not going to be picky, but the ones that really stood out to me were the following:

      a. Heaviness of Light Letters. Like the seen in the word “asaateer”. More specific examples below.

      i) the heaviness of the letter taa ( ت ). Taa is a light letter, so it should always be said lightly. The heaviness always occured when it was followed or preceded by a heavy letter, the heavy letters make the sentence (خص ضغط قط). Example of this is at approx 3:40 of the first video when you say (منتصرين).

      ii) the heaviness of the alif ( أ ). The example here is at approx 1:10 in vid 1 when you say ( أرض ). Again, the heaviness is only because of the heavy letters following it.

      iii) when saying ( إلى الله ) be very careful not the make the “laam” of the word “ila” heavy. It comes out heavy sometimes because Allah is to be said with heaviness. Referring to 4:10 in the first vid.

      b. Qalqalah: aweomse qalqalahs, only you did one accidentally on a hamzah – eep.

      On the word, ( أغنياء ) in the second video at about 7:20. That heavy “eh” after the hamzah comes out sometimes if you’re out of breath, but do try to avoid it.

      c) The mudood.

      Ayah nine, at about 1.45 in the second vid, wa maa ana… this is a madd jaa’ez munfasil that can be sounded for 2, 4, or 6 counts, but it came out like a fat-ha. I’m sure this is just a one-off mistake.

      Insha Allah I haven’t completely ruined your ego. I must reiterate that your reading is very eloquent masha Allah. But for you, even for me, just a student of knowledge, there’s always a long path to go…

      Thanks for sharing your video recitations.
      With best wishes for many successes.

      • Thanks for the time that you have taken for specifically pointing out my tajweed issues. Inshallah I will work on them.

        BTW, you are right. I am not of Arab descent.

      • I would really hope to hear a future recitation after you practice really hard 🙂 I’m sure we’d all be very amazed, masha Allah…

    • Wa Alaykum Asalam!
      Thank you for the invitation! One that was gladly accepted.
      Jazaka Allahu khair for the beneficial articles on your blog, may Allah reward your greatly!

    • Alhmadulilah. May Allah increase you in knowledge. Since I consider myself a student of Tajweed, not a teacher, I don’t currently teach. I can, and will be happy to do so if we can agree on a time and method 🙂 You can email me if you’d like… This is assuming you’re a female 🙂

    The page on ‘The Silent & Pronounced Alif’ When stopping on the word ‘thamooda with silent Alif’ should it be ‘thamoodaa’
