Tajweed Classes

www.uwmsa.com/tajweed

Tajweed means 'to improve or make better'. Tajweed of the Holy Quran is the knowledge and application of the rules of recitation just as the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) taught us. Our MSA is blessed with people who are willing to help you improve your recitation of the Holy Qur'an. The MSA has also purchased brand NEW Qur'ans with color-coded Tajweed rules to make it easier for the students to learn this important science in Islam.

I began first learning how to properly recite the Quran when i was ayoung child in Egypt (from when i was 6 till i was 10 years old) thatwas through a sheikh that used to come to my house and teach me as wellas help me memmorize the Quran. Then during the past few years iparticipated in 2 tajweed halaqas, one was at ISNA in Mississauga withsheikh Ahmed El Fannous who has an Ijaza. While the other halaqa waswith brothers that i knew where we helped teach other muslims tajweed,which was in a smaller mosque in Mississauga close to my house.

I was in grade 9 when we moved to Islamabad. There, my mom sent me to the local masjid for starting Hifz. The teacher, however, handed me a "Noorani Qaaeda" & started teaching me how to pronounce the letters on the first page. I used to take pride in being able to read a juz in an hour & here this teacher won't let me go to the next page of "Noorani Qaaeda" until I've repeated it for 2 hours. Halfway through the book, I escaped his classes. Then in grade 10, Sh. Rafed found me in Mississauga. This Syrian teacher used to make me come to his place and recite for an hour almost everyday. Once in a while, he also had tea & biscuits. He would teach me 1 rule and make me practice it for 2-3 days, sometimes even a week. Before long, however, he moved away. Then Allah blessed me with Sh. Enmaar from Saudia. He was a very strict teacher & deeply versed in tajweed. He had halaqaa's at Al-Falah & Halton Mosque. He wouldn't let any mistake go unnoticed. In Waterloo, Sh. Abu Tarek from Egypt refined many of my mispronounciations. Just last year in Waterloo, I learned how to say "ya" properly through Br. AbdelRahman Morsey & Sh. Ahmed Mostafa. And so continues my tajweed learning...
