The Importance of Tajweed
Ibn al-Jazaree says in his poem about acquiring Tajweed:
And there is no obstacle between it (learning Tajweed) and leaving it,Except that a person must exercise his mouth with it!
Introduction to the 10 Recitations + 7 Ahruf
Qira'at refers to the various manners of reciting the Qur'an. There are 10 authentic Qira'at. For a qira'at to be authentic there are very detailed rules. Whereas the Qur'an was revealed in seven ahruf, as is proved in many mutawaatir ahadith. This was because different tribes pronounced and spelled words differently.
