Tajweed Quran - Small 4x5.5"

This is the smallest hardback edition of the color-coded Tajweed Qur'an (Mushaf at-Tajweed / مصحف التجويد), measuring exactly 4 x 5.5 inches (10 x 13.5 cm) — roughly the footprint of a passport wallet. It runs the complete 666-page Uthmani text in a sewn hardback binding, weighs just 0.74 lbs (335 g), and includes a sewn-in ribbon tassel for marking your place. It slips into a jacket pocket, a handbag, or an umrah bag without adding noticeable bulk.

Because the full mushaf is compressed into a pocket footprint, the Arabic here is small. This edition suits readers with strong eyesight who already know their tajweed and want a portable copy for travel, commuting, i'tikaf, or keeping in the car. If you need larger print for daily study or teaching, see the size comparison below.

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.

How the Color Coding Works

Dar Al Maarifah's system prints each category of tajweed letter in its own color, so the rule is visible the moment your eye lands on the word — no memorized symbols to decode mid-recitation:

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

Between them these colors cover 24 rules of tajweed. Readers pick the system up the way they learned to stop at a red light and go on green.
