Established in 2013 by the Tamuryani family, Modesty Collection envisioned fulfilling the community's need for Islamic products. With three physical store locations in Victoria, Australia (Dandenong, Epping, and Coburg), Modesty Collection sells products locally and ships globally through its online store.

One of the possible reasons for this is that Tajweed has taken a dip in our communities.

From the 1940s to the 1980/90s, there had been an absence of Tajweed even among Arabs/North Africans. As a millennial, I'd seen what the standards were like compared to the present day (2022).

Today it's become a more standard place to hear everyone learning Tajweed. It wasn't like this before. In the last 30 years, the efforts of scholars, the spread of audio recordings, and technological advances revived Tajweed. It was this that allowed me to learn correct pronunciation during the 90s. I would listen to tape cassettes of Egyptian reciters, then audio files, and eventually went to Egypt to be with them myself.

Today, we have access to courses online, YouTube videos, articles, and resources. Books still have a place. Much of the great material is in Arabic but recently we're beginning to see more resources in English.

Seeing so many books though, presents a problem. You don't know what book you should go with. A lot of books are complicated while others are oversimplified. Every teacher has a different approach to teaching and will prefer different books. Every book has a different approach and is often copy-paste jobs of other works. I do believe there's a space for something that should cater to the youngsters of our time.

That's why I'm going to share what I've found to be the best available resources in English to date (2024). Is there a 'best Tajweed book'? How can you learn Tajweed easily? I'll give you some Tajwid book examples.

This is a brilliant quality hardback book consisting of 92 pages. I received a copy today and I can say for sure, it's a must-have for any teacher and student. Anisa has done a brilliant job of covering all the basics of Tajweed efficiently. It does the job!

But, overall, based on my experience at the time of writing, this would be a recommendation for most people. You can order your copy and get a discount using the code: QARI (this is not an affiliate deal or sponsored post).

It now comes with video lessons and a book walkthrough alongside it which makes it even better. They have also released a Tajwid bookmark. The bookmark is great and I love the tassels. But because there's a lot of try and cover, the bookmark has very tiny text on it and this will be problematic for those who don't have great eyesight. Bookmarks should be great for quick reference, and this is exactly that but it should also be effortless to scan.

The expensive one. This is another high-quality hardback book but is slightly more advanced than Anisa's work. It covers more with illustrations and QR codes alongside the original Arabic text. I have a copy of the two-volume 1st edition from 2019. Today there's a new edition available at a variety of stores. My experience is based on the original Arabic work and the 1st edition translation.

This book is designed to be comprehensive and in many respects, I see it as an update to the work of Kareema Carol Czerepinski whose 3-volume book many of you might be familiar with. A work that is an English language commentary of the well-known poem of Tajweed, the Jazariyyah. Illustrated Tajweed in many ways has become a standard textbook and as a textbook, it's up there as the best.

I think this is a great book but isn't the most accessible or simple to understand without a teacher. It does make up for it with the interactive elements (QR codes) but of course, Tajweed isn't a subject that can entirely be learned alone. It's passed on by authourised practitioners.

I also don't particularly like the way the subject is organised in the book, it can be difficult to find things. But for those that are more advanced, this is the best book to follow on from Anisa's work.

There's a common problem I have found with students. There is a pattern of weaknesses in recitation and fluency. Much of this is down to not only outdated teaching methods but also the bridge between learning to read and learning to recite with Tajweed. Qari Muhammad Najmul Alam and Fatima Zahra Najam have also seen the same thing but have done something about it.

This is a brilliant piece of work. It takes you through 3 levels that cover the basics of Tajweed. From starting with the Arabic alphabet - independently and then joined up, moving on to vowels and symbols. The knowledge of stops. Then knowledge of basic Tajweed rules, and more on stopping and the madd rules. It then goes into some advanced rules and basics of Tajweed and the virtues of recitation.

You should consider ordering your copy of Anisa Najam's book. Get a discount by using the code: QARI (again this is not an affiliate deal or sponsored post). If you are interested in studying further, get Dr. Aymans' work. And check out my recommendations.
