Sources of Tajweed

This specialized scholarly course, taught by Dr. Adel Ibrahim Abu Sha‘r, offers a comprehensive exploration of the sources of Tajweed—the foundational references and classical works upon which the science of Qur’anic recitation is built.

Participants will gain an in-depth look at how tajweed developed historically, the key scholars and texts that shaped the discipline, and the transmission of rules across generations. The program highlights the importance of understanding tajweed not only as a set of technical rules but as a deeply rooted scholarly tradition tied to the preservation of the Qur’an.

The course will enrich students’ appreciation of the intellectual depth of tajweed by examining both the theory and practice that underpin recitation today. Students will leave with a stronger scholarly framework for their tajweed studies, making it especially valuable for teachers, advanced learners, and those pursuing ijazah-level training.
