I’ve just joined a tajweed class at uni. I had my first lesson the other day which was fantastic, the tajweed teacher is Egyptian and reminds me of my aunties!

learning in a group

there’s this group on facebook where we’re assigned four ayats a week to memorize, with meanings and tafseer. we report back when we’ve completed our memorisation. its one of those positive competition things, a very good idea to keep me motivated.
getting along rather well

Alhamdulillah, I’ve memorised three surahs in two weeks! which is good for me. Instead of reading my usual books on the bus to uni I read a tajweed Qur’an instead. This pocket tajweed Qur’an, I bought it a month ago and its absolutely brilliant, its got the English transliteration with different coloured letters indicating different rules in pronunciantion and length, plus its got the Arabic text which helps me where I don’t get the transliteration, and the English translation. Sweet. Alhamdulillah

I’ve nailed it, alhamdulillah! First surah of the year done (I started quite late this year). Only like, 102 more to go…

inshaAllah I’ll find a tajweed teacher next year to teach me how its really done. Watch this space!
Memorizing surahs would be possible for me without it. Its one thing to learn the Arabic phonetically, its another to match up those sounds to actual meanings. Alhamdulillah, I can understand the word order and distinguish words from each other, which makes it a lot easier for me to link up English meanings to specific words and so get a much fuller meaning than ‘er well the gist of it is…’
Currently working on Surah Al Tin.
Ramadan mubarak!
