A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SCIENCE OF TAJWeeD

This workbook has been prepared to support students as they engage with Tuhfatul Atfāl, the celebrated beginner’s poem in the rules of tajwīd, authored by the scholar Sulaymān ibn Ḥusayn al-Jamzūrī (raḥimahu Allāh). Clear in style and concise in wording, this poem has guided generations of students in laying firm foundations for their recitation of the Qur’ān.

Organised with the learner in mind, this workbook includes:

• The complete poem for memorisation (ḥifẓ).
• Line-by-line space for notes as explained by a qualified teacher.
• Carefully designed exercises to consolidate learning and apply the rules of tajwīd.

Whether used in a classroom or for private study, this resource allows the student to reflect, memorise, and put into practice the essential rules of tajwīd. It is intended to nurture both accurate recitation and a deeper appreciation of the words of Allah, while preserving each learner’s own journey of study for future benefit.

دُعَاء مِنَ السُّنَّةِ:

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قُلُوبِنَا وَنُورَ صُدُورِنَا وَجَلاءَ أَحْزَانِنَا وَذَهَابَ هُمُومِنَا

“O Allah, make the Qur’an the spring of our hearts, the light of our chests, the remover of our sorrows, and the reliever of our worries.”

(Reported by Aḥmad, ṣaḥīḥ in meaning)
