Introduction
Quran recitations are divided into five big categories:
- Oral Recitation of the Quran,
- Memorization of the Quran,
- Learning the Rules of Tajweed (correct recitation),
- Studying the Sciences of Quran
- Studying other Interpretations.
1. Oral Recitation of the Quran
Learn Quranic Recitation is a form of worship that involves reading the Quran aloud in Arabic. It is done with a melodious voice, which makes it easier to memorize and understand. The recitation also has rhythm and melody, making it more enjoyable for listeners than just reading straight text on paper.
The first type of recitation was oral tradition where people would silently recite verses as they were written down by someone else’s hand or memory; this method was used mainly during weddings and funerals because there wasn't enough time or money available at those times so they had no choice but to rely on oral traditions instead!
2. Memorization of the Quran
There are two ways to memorize the Quran:
-
Memorization of what you have already memorized, which can be done by reading it over and over until your memory gets better. This method is called “memorizing by heart” or “Qiran” in Arabic. You may want to use this method if you want to learn quickly or if you want a lot of information from the Qur'an (for example, if someone gives a lecture about a certain topic). But there are some risks associated with memorizing by heart: if we don't know how many verses there are in each sura (chapter), then we won't be able to find out when one sura ends and another begins! Also, there will sometimes be mistakes in our recitation because our mind hasn't been trained yet; so it's better not too focus on that aspect just yet!
3. Learning the Rules of Tajweed (correct recitation)
The rules of Tajweed (correct recitation) are based on the Arabic language, the Arabic alphabet and phonology. They also take into account morphology which is a science dealing with how words are formed in different languages.
The main rules for Tajweed are:
-
To pronounce each letter correctly according to its sound;
-
To pronounce each word correctly according to its meaning;
-
To pronounce each sentence correctly according to its structure and meaning;
-
To read from memory accurately without hesitation or mistakes in pronunciation or word choice etc.;
4. Studying the Quran with its Tafseer (explanation)
The Tafseer (interpretation) is the study of the Quran. It is important to understand both its meaning and context. There are many different Tafseer books available, both written by famous scholars and others who are not as well-known or well-loved by Muslims.

5. Studying the Sciences of Quran
The sciences of the Quran are not limited to tafseer. In fact, these sciences can be separated into two main categories:
-
Tafsir (Explanation) - this includes an explanation about the meaning and significance of Quranic verses.
-
Hadith (Traditions/Sayings) - this includes narrations from Prophet Muhammad's life that help us understand more about his teachings and guidance through example rather than just words alone.
All types of Quranic recitations are highly rewarded according to Islamic principles.
The Quran is recited in many ways. It can be memorized, studied with its tafseer (explanation) and sciences, or read from a book. All of these are highly rewarded according to Islamic principles.
The best way to learn how to recite the Quran is by listening to it being recited by an expert teacher who knows what he's doing. This will help you gain confidence as well as accuracy when reading the holy book yourself!
Conclusion
The Quran itself is a miracle, and the recitation of it is a great blessing. The Quran has many miraculous signs that can be seen in the way it was revealed, and in its words themselves. The way you recite Quranic verses from your heart with complete devotion towards Allah SWT can bring about great rewards for yourself and for others as well!
