The journey of this book began while I was teaching at my local Maktab. At the time, I was looking for a Tajweed book that was simple, clear, and suitable for young learners, yet still covered the essentials.

It was at this point that I decided to write my own book. I wanted to ensure all the essential rules of Tajweed were included for a Maktab student. My aim was to make the book clear, engaging, and easy to teach and understand-especially for young minds.

Qari Yahya Ali Sahib helped to review the book, correct any errors, and make it more accessible. He dedicated many hours of his valuable time to help shape the book into what it is today. Qari Yahya Sahib is a teacher of Tajweed at the Islamic Dawah Academy in Leicester. May Allah (SWT) reward him abundantly and increase him in knowledge and practice. Aameen.

My beloved niece, Sawdah Mulla created all the illustrations in this book and helped to make it visually engaging and appealing to young readers. May Allah (SWT) make her work a means of making the learning of Tajweed an enjoyable and meaningful experience for our children. Aameen.

Much care and effort has gone into ensuring that the information in this book was thoroughly reviewed and revised where needed. This short course has been put together as a guide to help understand the basic rules of Tajweed. An effort has also been made to explain the symbols that appear in the Glorious Qur'an.
