The technical meaning of Tajweed
The science that is known by the correct pronunciation of the Arabic letters, and that is through knowing the articulation points, and the internal and conditional characteristics, and what rules arise from them.
Subtopics of the Science of Tajweed
• Articulation points of the letters.
• The internal characteristics of the letters
• The conditional characteristic of the letters:
-Rules of meem sakinah
-Rules of noon sakinah & tanween
-Rules of madd
-….
speed of recitation
1) At-Tahqeeq: slowly without exaggeration
2) At-Tadweer: medium speed.
3) Al-Hadr: quickly, without mixing letters
Tarteel
Tarteel is comprised of all three speeds, for Tarteel is to apply Tajweed of the letters and to know where to stop.
And no matter the speed of the recitation, the reciter must stick to Tarteel.
ruling of التعوذ
Mandatory:
He must begin by the Ta’awwuth, in compliance to the Almighty saying:
فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّـهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
(16:98)
Whether he is reading from the beginning or the middle of a surah.
ruling of البسملة
it is necessary at the beginning of every surah of the Qur’an except Surat Al-Tawbah.
So if the reader wants to read from the middle of a surah and not from the beginning, then he has a choice between saying al-basmalah or not.
different ways to say altaawuth & al-basmallah
1- Separating all three
2- Separating at-Ta’awwutth from al-basmalah, and
joining the basmalah with the first ayah
3- joining at-Ta’awwuth with basmalah, and
separating them from the first ayah
4- Joining all three
different ways to say al-basmallah between two surahs
1- end / bismillah / begin - permissible
2- end / bismillah + begin - permissible
3- end + bismillah + begin - permissible
4- end + bismillah / begin - prohibited
why prohibited to join bismillah to previous Surah and separate from new Surah?
Because it gives the impression that the Basmallah belongs to the former Surah, this way is impermissible
