Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: The term for slow and clear recitation of the Quran is Tartil.
Tartil refers to the measured, rhythmic, and unhurried recitation of the Quran with clarity and precision, as commanded in Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:4): "And recite the Quran with Tartil." It involves pronouncing each letter correctly, observing the rules of elongation (Madd), and pausing at appropriate places. While Tajweed refers to the set of rules governing proper pronunciation, Tartil specifically emphasizes the slow, deliberate pace of recitation that allows for reflection and contemplation.
The concept of Tartil is deeply rooted in the Quranic instruction itself. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite the Quran with clear and distinct pronunciation, pausing after each verse. Tartil is considered the highest level of Quranic recitation, distinct from Hadr (fast recitation) and Tadwir (moderate pace). It is especially emphasized during Taraweeh prayers in Ramadan, where the goal is both recitation and understanding of the divine message.
