Tajweedi Qur'an 15-Line Indo-Pak (7x10")

The bilingual key is the clever part. Urdu on the right-hand page and English on the left means one copy serves a whole household — a parent reading the Urdu key and a child reading the English, from the same book.

The pronunciation rules run to more than ten pages in each language: Urdu from the right-hand side of the book, English from the left. That is a full tajweed reference bound into the mushaf itself.

About the Indo-Pak Script

Also known as Persian or Pakistani script, these are the letterforms taught across Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. They differ noticeably from the Uthmani script used in Arab editions — in the shapes of certain letters and in how the vowel markings are placed.

A reader who learned one finds the other slower, particularly when reciting from memory. If you or your children learned to read the Quran in the subcontinent or in a madrasah following that tradition, this is the script to stay with.

Other 15-Line Editions in Persian / Indo-Pak Script

These share the same page layout as this edition — the most widely used layout, and the one most Indo-Pak readers learned from. Because the pages break in the same places, a reader can move between them without disturbing his memorization.

Fewer lines means larger text, but the pages break differently — so anyone who has begun memorizing should stay with the line count he learned from. Also available in 11 line, 13 line and 16 and 17 line.
