  • 1 Want to read

The Holy Quran is God's final revelation to the mankind. Over one billion Muslims use it every day in public as well as in private life to draw guidance and blessing. The recitation of the Quran is commanded by God and His Messenger. However, a majority of Muslims simply cannot read the text of the Quran correctly. // Not only has the Quran been preserved as it was revealed to the Prophet but also its recitation came to us from him through his companions and their followers. The Quran is not read in the same manner as any ordinary document. In this books, Dr. Abdul-Majid Khan presents the art of recitation of the Quran. It includes an introduction to Tajwid, need for Tajwid, a brief view of the Arabic consonants and vowels, organs of speech, the places and manners of the articulation of the Arabic sounds, the rules of Tajwid, stopping and initiation rules, proper manners of recitation, a discussion on recitational prostration with views of experts on how to perform them, the script, authenticity, and division of the Quran, a glossary of Arabic and phonetic terms, and an index. The explanation is augmented by figures, charts, tables, and examples for full and easy comprehension by the readers. // The Author: Abdul-Majid Khan is the Director of the Islamic Education Foundation. Educated in the US, for the past 30 years he has lived and taught in Islamic weekend schools in Arizona, Oklahoma, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, New Jersey, and New York. He was selected as one of the outstanding American leaders and successful business executives by Who is Who in America. The Art of Recitation of the Holy Quran is a result of his fifteen years effort inlearning and teaching in the field of Tajwid.
