The Meaning of Beautifying the Voice in Reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the issue of beautifying the voice in recitation, and says: Is what is meant by this the science of tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation) that is known today?
Answer:
It is part of that, but beautifying the voice is broader than that. In the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1473Sahih (Al-Albani) And in the other wording: Sunan Abi Dawud 1469Sahih (Al-Albani).
So, beautifying the voice brings about humility for the reciter, and sadness, and giving the pitch its due in the letters and words, until the listener becomes humble, benefits, and is affected by the recitation. Thus, tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation) is from this category.
Tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation), in that it gives the letters their right of thickening, thinning, assimilation, and clear articulation, along with the known elongations, along with sadness, and along with humility, and beautifying the voice as much as possible, this is more beneficial for him and more beneficial for the listeners.

Answer:
It is part of that, but beautifying the voice is broader than that. In the authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:
Allah has not listened to anything as He does to a Prophet chanting the Qur'an with a loud voice.
ما أذن الله لشيء ما أذن لحسن الصوت بالقرآن يجهر بهHe who does not chant the Qur'an is not one of us
ليس منا من لم يتغن بالقرآن يجهر بهSo, beautifying the voice brings about humility for the reciter, and sadness, and giving the pitch its due in the letters and words, until the listener becomes humble, benefits, and is affected by the recitation. Thus, tajwid (rules of Qur'anic recitation) is from this category.
