This is a guide for studying tajweed. The student who uses this book is expected to have a basic grasp of Arabic before starting this course. The student should know all the Arabic letters and vowels and be able to read at an elementary level. This book is either for an English-speaking student studying the Qur'an in an Arabic environment, but needing explanation of the Arabic terms in English, or a student studying the explanations of tajweed in English, but learning the basic concepts in Arabic so they may integrate into the Arabic terms and definitions throughout the book, since the science of tajweed is an Arabic science.
This book explains the articulation points of the Arabic letters, the rules of noon saakinah, meem saakinah, and lam saakinah. It explains all of the different lengths (mudood), and how voweled, and non-voweled letters are formed. The qalaqah mechanism is explained in the last chapter. Terms are introduced in Arabic, and the translated into English. Explanations are done in English, but with integration of Arabic terms, as they are learned.
A student of the Qur'an cannot learn tajweed simply by studying this book. The learning of proper Qur'anic recitation can only be done by listening to a qualified Qur'an teacher recite, then reciting to them and receiving corrections from the teacher.

The publishers have designed the text to show the rules of Tajweed when reading the Qur'an. The text is written in Uthmani style and has case vowelization and dotting on the letters that are audible. Letters related to Tajweed rules are distinguished within the text by the use of colors, indicating the various Tajweed rules. This technique helps simplify the rules of recitation for the reader in order to encourage and facilitate correct Qur’anic recitation. The text is color-coded: grey indicates when a letter is not pronounced, red indicates letters which require expanded vocalization, green indicates nasalization and blue shows the emphatic pronunciation of the letter.
The French translation accompanying this copy of the Holy Qur’an is by Dr. Muhammad Hamidullah.

One of the great masterpieces of world thought, a work of immense religious and literary value, the Qur'an, or Qur'an in the present version, is read and studied by Muslims, spiritual seekers, and students of religion, history, and Middle Eastern culture. Considered a direct message from Allah to humanity, transmitted through the Prophet Muhammad, it extends beyond spiritual concerns to social codes of conduct, scientific knowledge, political and legal wisdom, and even prophecies of future events. Julio Cortes's Spanish translation uses a thoughtful, sensitive style to bring to life both the poetry and the wisdom of this seminal work that has been, and remains a guiding work in the lives of millions of people in many cultures, past and present.

Four Key concepts of the Qur'an elucidates these basic Qur'anic concepts “Ilah”, “Rabb”, “Ibadah” and Din in order to bring out fully the Islamic way of life, as distinct from other perspectives. This elaboration goes a long way in developing a sound understanding of the Qur'an. It also explains the man-God relationship in Islam, guiding Muslims on how to lead their lives in total surrender to Allah. Mawlana Sayyid Abul a La Mawdudi (1903-1979), one of the chief architects and leaders of the contemporary Islamic resurgence, was an outstanding Islamic thinker and writer of his time. He devoted his entire life to expounding the meaning and message of Islam, inviting individuals to renew their commitment to their Creator, and to organizing a movement to establish Islam fully. In this struggle, he had to pass through all kinds of suffering: between 1948 and 1967, lie was put behind bars on four occasions, spending a total of five years in different prisons of Pakistan; in 1953, he was also sentenced to death by a Martial Law Court for writing a 'seditious' pamphlet, this sentence later being commuted to life imprisonment. In 1941, he founded “Jama'at-e-Islami”, of which he remained Amir (Chief) until 1972 and which is one of the most prominent Islamic Movements of our day. He authored more than a hundred works on Islam, both scholarly and popular, and his writings have been translated into forty languages.

How the Quran should be approached & the main teachings of the Quran. The work also offers a lengthy discussion of the proper sources of tafseer or Quranic commentary.
One reviewer wrote of this work, "It will be useful reading for all Muslims, new converts and those who have been practicing for years. As I was reading, I found passages that built such a powerful crescendo of argumentation and commentary, that I was deeply touched."

The Holy Qur'an is the sacred scripture of nearly one quarter of humanity. It is a revelation that follows in a long tradition of guidance and practical application for how to live life in a moral and dignified way. Revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, between the years 610 and 632, this scripture provides inspiration, reflection and a practical path to solving many of the problems that plague our world today. You will find an eloquent essay and statement of faith within these pages. But this holy book is more than just a collection of stories and moral precepts. The Qur'an is the last installment of Divine guidance -guidance that was brought by previous prophets such as Abraham, Moses and Jesus.
Take a fresh look at the primary source document of Islam and understand the worldview that it seeks to establish. Islam is a way of life that promotes peace at its core: peace between humanity and nature, harmony between one's fellow men and women and certainty between humanity and God.
