An easy-to-carry medium-size edition of the Mushaf Tajweed (Arabic Tajweed Qur'an) with easy-to-read bold Indo-Pak / Indian-Pakistani / Persian script. It features distinct colors for each tajweed rule, making it easier to follow and correct your tajweed recitation of the Holy Qur'an.
Why the Script Matters
Nearly every color-coded Tajweed Qur'an in print uses Uthmani script — the letterforms of Arab editions. A reader who learned to recite in Pakistan, India or Bangladesh learned different letterforms, and finds Uthmani noticeably slower, particularly when reciting from memory.
That leaves a large number of readers choosing between the script they know and the tajweed help they need. This edition removes the choice.
Who It Is For
Anyone from the subcontinental tradition who wants color-coded tajweed without abandoning the script they read fluently. At medium size with 13 lines per page, the text stays large and the book stays portable.
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.
Other 13-Line Editions in Persian / Indo-Pak Script
These share the same page layout as this edition — a large, uncluttered page that still keeps the book a manageable thickness. 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, 15 line and 16 and 17 line.
