Tajweed Quran - Zippercase 3.5x5"

This is the smallest color-coded Tajweed Qur'an (Mushaf at-Tajweed / مصحف التجويد) in our range, measuring 3.7 x 5.2 inches with a 1 inch spine (9.5 x 13 x 2.5 cm) and weighing between 0.44 and 0.56 lbs depending on the cover — roughly the size and heft of a deck of cards.

It is bound into a zippered protective case and holds the complete 604-page Uthmani text in the standard fifteen-line Madinah layout.

Who Buys This One

People who want a Qur'an with them rather than at home. It fits where a full mushaf does not: a coat pocket, a handbag, a thobe pocket, a laptop bag, the door pocket of a car.

It is the standard choice for Hajj and Umrah, where luggage is tight and a mushaf gets carried through crowds all day. Also for commuters, and for anyone who has found that the Qur'an they own never leaves the shelf because it is too much trouble to take.

The Honest Trade-Off

Fitting 604 pages into a deck-of-cards footprint means the text is small. This is not the edition for anyone with weakening eyesight, and it is not comfortable for a long sitting.

It is a mushaf for the fifteen minutes you did not plan for — and for that it is unmatched. If you want a protected mushaf you can also recite from at length, take the 6 x 9 inch zippered edition instead.

The Color-Coded Tajweed System

Dar Al Maarifah's editors grouped the letters phonologically and gave each group its own printed color:

• Red — letters requiring extended vocalization (madd)
• Green — nasalized letters (ghunnah, ikhfa, idgham)
• Dark blue — the emphatic ر (raa')
• Light blue — qalqalah, the echoing letters
• Gray — letters written but left unpronounced

Twenty-four tajweed rules are applied this way, leaving the reader's attention free for the meaning of the verse rather than the mechanics of the recitation.
