Abstract:

This study examines al-Kawlus-Sadid Fi ‘Ilmi’t-Tajweed (also known as Tajwid-i Jadid), which was written in the Ottoman Turkish by a late Ottoman scholar Mehmed Zihni Efendi. The book, which was originally written for the Madrasa Students, consists of three main topics: Mushaf-i Sharif, Tilawah and Tajwid. In addition to containing the topics of history and collection of the Quran, the rules and variations of Quranic recitation, and the tradition of Khatma’l-Quran, the book addresses the rules of wasl and waqf, makharij and characteristics of letters, and madd rules. One of the significant points of the book is that while discussing the topics, the author elaborates on wrong behaviours and customs of his time. Another vital point of the book is that the author does not only discuss the Tajwid rules on the theoretical level, but he also explains them with practical examples. As well as introducing the book, this critical analysis highlights Zihni Efendi’s personal thoughts and ideas along with the assessment of the author’s bibliographic sources from point of the Qiraat literature.
