Tajwid literally means ' to imrove or do better' and is the knowledge and application of the rules of recitation practised by the Prophet(s.a.w.w)as Jibril(a.s) had taught him. The rules of the science of tajwid in islam are obligatory on every conscientious reader of the Qur'an as Allah mentions in the Qur'an itself, ...'And recite the Qur'an distinctly...' (73:3).

While learning the science of tajwid is best done with the aid of a teacher, this book provides an invaluable aid for the student of the Qur'an. It contains seven chapters covering the principles and rules of tajwid, including diagrams and tables to facilitate learning.
