All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon his Messenger who said: "The best among you is the one who learns the Qur'an and teaches it" [Bukhari]. Reciting the Qur'an correctly is the duty of every Muslim. The rewards for reciting it are many. Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah pbuh said, "Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter."[At-Tirmidhi]. In another hadeeth, 'Aa'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, relates that the Prophet pbuh said: "Verily the one who recites the Qur'an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward." [A1-Bukhari and Muslim]. In this series, we present our humble efforts in trying to make the learning of the Qur'an easy for children as well as adults. This book has a number of unique features. Some of these features are listed below: l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. As a part of practice words, we have chosen 400 important words that occur in the Holy Qur'an almost 39,000 times (out of a total of 78,000). In other words, at the end of this book, you will be able to recite 50% words of the Qur'an with the application of tajweed rules. Reading correctly will inspire a joy and fervor in each student and teacher, as s/he will get closer to the Divine Revelation. Every lesson shows new words you learn, and their frequency of occurrences in the Holy Qur'an. You can monitor your progress by word count, it will further help to boost and enhance your interest in learning. The words are taught with emphasis on the understanding of the makhaarij (articulation or pronunciation) of the letters. This will help the student pronounce correctly and not confuse words that are very similar in sound, for example: '3 'L 'J For teaching almost every letter, pictures of objects are being used. The names of these objects begin with the pronunciation of the letters being taught. This will not only create a link, but also aid in fixing the letter in the minds of students. Makhaarij have been taught using pictures as an aid to explanation from the very initial stages. The letters are arranged according to the makhaarij for all the exercises that relate to different vowel sounds or inflexions (harakaat). This ensures further strengthening of the makhaarij. 2 wrnv.understandquran.com.

7. Full form and short form is an easy and interesting concept to learn the different shapes of the letters. Simple logic of connector is used to explam the short-form shapes used within a word. The short forms are taught from the very beginning to ensure that no difficulties are 8. faced by the student in reading the words of the Holy Qur'an. 9. From the very beginning, each letter is practiced with fathah (zabar). This helps in the understanding of the makhaarij. For example, the letter 'jeem' has an extra 'm' or 'meem' sound in its name; however, sound 'ja' represents the sound of 'jeem'. Further, the letters with fathah occur thousands of times in the Holy Qur'an whereas the letters without vowel signs occur only in the muqatta'aat letters. Muqatta'aat occur in the Qur'an around 50 times only. 10. From Lesson 13 onwards, words are taught by separating them into individual letters. This separation is shown about the word itself. This way, a student finds it easy to learn. II. The translation of the words is given just under them. The purpose behind this is to convey the message to the student that the Holy Qur'an is a Divine Revelation meant to be understood and acted upon. The instructor may mention these meanings once in a while for young children. 12. The words in every line of every lesson are selected in such a way that they rhyme. This makes the learning interesting for the students. They recite the words with rhyme as they learn them. 13. In every lesson, words are arranged in the order of increasing complexity. Simple words are given in the beginning. 14. Revision lessons are provided at regular intervals to ensure retention and practice of what is learnt earlier in different contexts. 15. As a part of in-built Tajweed, the lesson on Sukoon is spread over six lessons (e.g., qalqala, soft words, 'hams' etc.). Usually Sukoon is taught first and qalqala later. Once a student gets into a habit of incorrectly pronouncing a letter, it becomes very difficult to correct it later. Teaching different applications of Sukoon are therefore taught at the start itself. 16. Following the same pattern of in-built Tajweed, shaddah is taught in three lessons. 17. Simplified rules of Madd are given in this book. Detailed rules can be taught later, in advanced courses on the topic. 18. The lessons on 'Tajweed' are arranged in an increasingly challenging pattern. 19. An attempt has been made to present the terminology of Tajweed in simple words for ease of learning and memorization. For example, 'Izhaar', 'Ikhfaa', 'Idghaam' and 'Iqlaab' are explained as 'show,' 'hide,' 'join,' and 'change.' 20. At the end of the book, word-for-word explanation of Tajweed rules for commonly recited selections are provided. 3 wrnv.understandquran.com.
