Tuhfat Ul-Atfaal: A Gift for the Children in the Rules of Qur’an Recitation & The Forty Hadith in the Excellence of the Qur’an

Two Classical Texts on the Science of Tajweed 

Tuhfatul Atfaal is the famous poem written by Imam Al-Jamzuri for those who wish to learn Tajweed (the rules of Qur’anic recitation). It is shorter and easier than other similar texts. This publication is the first English translation and has been printed to a high standard.

“The benefits of reciting the pure words of Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala, are so great that no individual is able to compile them in any one book. Hence, only a few are mentioned below as a reminder of the bounties of Allah upon those who recite his glorious Qur’an.

The Prophet, ﷺ, said;

Whosoever reads a letter from the Book of Allah, he will receive a reward. That reward is then (multiplied) ten-fold. I do not say Alif-Laam-Meem is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Laam is a separate letter and Meem is another letter. [Tirmidhi]. 

The work features :

Ilm ut Tajweed is the science that deals with the pronunciation of Arabic letters from their correct Makhaarij along with their correct Sifaat. Its purpose is to make a person proficient in correct Qur’an recitation without mistakes. Learning its rules and principles is Fardh Kifayah, but its application in Qur’an recitation is Fardh ‘Ain.”
