Four parts is the least fragmented of the sets, and it suits someone who wants a lighter book to hold without managing thirty separate volumes.
The 15-line layout matches a standard mushaf, so page positions carry over — and the hardback binding makes these the most durable of the multi-part options.
Why Buy the Qur'an in Separate Parts
Two reasons, and the second is the one people discover afterward.
Weight. A full mushaf is heavy and awkward, and that quietly determines how often it gets picked up. A single juz opens flat, holds in one hand, and can be carried without planning to.
Khatm al-Qur'an. Thirty separate parts let thirty people complete the whole Qur'an together — which is how a completion is organized for a bereavement, through Ramadan, or at a community gathering. A single mushaf cannot be divided; a set is made for exactly this.
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 mushaf closes that gap: the rule is printed into the word itself, so it is applied at the moment of reciting rather than recalled afterward.
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.
Every Tajweed Qur'an in This Range Includes
- Color-coded letters presenting the rules of tajweed visually
- Uthmani script following the Madinah standard
- Interpretation of selected words on the page margins
- High-quality printing on fine paper
Note: the cover color may differ depending on current stock.
Multi-Part Tajweed Sets
The same color-coded text divided into separate volumes. Sets are bought for two reasons: a lighter book to carry and recite from, and khatm al-Qur'an — thirty parts let thirty people complete the Qur'an together, which a single mushaf cannot do.
