Tajweed Quran Silver - Medium 5.5"x8"

This medium edition of the color-coded Tajweed Qur'an (Mushaf at-Tajweed / مصحف التجويد) measures 5.8 x 7.8 inches with a 1.1 inch spine (14.5 x 20 x 3 cm) and weighs 1.55 lbs (703 g). It holds the complete 670-page Uthmani text in a hardback binding with a silver-finished cover. Dimensionally it sits between a trade paperback and a hardcover novel — one hand holds it comfortably, and it fits a standard rihal, a nightstand, or a laptop bag without dominating the space.

This is the size most customers settle on for daily personal recitation. The Arabic is comfortably legible for readers with normal vision while the book stays light enough to carry to the masjid or a weekly halaqah. Customers consistently describe it as the size that is not too big and not too small.

Why Recite From a Tajweed Qur'an

Tajweed is not an optional refinement — it is the manner in which the Qur'an was revealed and the manner in which the Prophet ﷺ recited it. Yet most students learn the rules in a classroom and then lose them the moment they open a plain mushaf, because nothing on the page reminds them where a madd stretches, where a letter is nasalized, or where a qalqalah echoes. Errors settle into muscle memory and become progressively harder to correct.

A color-coded Tajweed Qur'an closes that gap. The rule is printed into the word itself, so you apply it as you read rather than recalling it afterwards. In practice this means three things: beginners and reverts can recite correctly from their first week instead of waiting years; parents and teachers can hear a child self-correct without interrupting every ayah; and long-time reciters catch the habits that no one ever pointed out to them. Because the coding is visual it works from any language background — Arabic, Urdu, English, Bengali, Somali, Turkish — and it keeps working during taraweeh, on the commute, or in halaqah, wherever the mushaf goes. Above all it frees the mind from tracking rules so attention can rest where it belongs, on the meaning of what Allah has said.

Reading Tajweed by Color

Rather than relying on marginal symbols, Dar Al Maarifah's phonological system assigns each family of tajweed letters a distinct printed color:

• Red — lengthened vocalization (madd)
• Green — nasalization (ghunnah, ikhfa, idgham)
• Dark blue — emphatic ر (raa')
• Light blue — qalqalah, the echoing letters
• Gray — silent letters, written but not pronounced

Twenty-four rules of tajweed become visible at a glance. Students correct their own recitation without stopping to consult a teacher for every word, and experienced reciters use it as a self-check.

About This Edition

This is the Regular Edition, previously sold only as a Deluxe. It carries plain one-color external cover lettering, white page margins instead of the yellow tinted background, and omits the topical index at the back — which is what brings the price down. The Qur'anic text, color system, paper stock and binding are identical to the Deluxe.
