Question (22  Jamad Awwal1424/July 22, 2003)

Thank you for your reply to my previous question about tajweed and its relation to Arabic phonology.

Now I have few more questions :

 1.  Is it true that tajweed reflects the language at the time of the great Prophet ? Did he (they) actually speak by using tajweed rules (ex. ghunnah, idghaam, etc.), Or, was the tajweed merely used in reading Qur'an ?

2.  I read the book by Wolfdietrich Fischer, saying that the language of Qur'an is 'pre-classical'. What do you think ? 

3. Are there any specific references explaining tajweed and its relation to Arabic phonology ? How do I get them, considering that I live in another country?

Thank you for your answers.

Question (17  Jamad Awwal1424/July 17, 2003)

A salaamu Alaikum,
during recitation of surah AlFatiha in salah....I hear at the end....AA-HA-MEEN instead of aameen.  by adding another sound to ameen ( ha) does it make it another word and not ameen??   Hadith says Malaika (angels) say ameen when we say ameen.   what is the tajweed for ameen at end of AlFatiha?

#2 - maybe this is not tajweed question, but important...please advise...is it acceptable in salah to recite ayat-al-kursi for the surah following Alfatiha instead of a whole surah ?
 --Is it acceptable in salah to recite only the last ayah of surah AlBaqarah  instead of a whole surah ?

Since I make salah w/this particular family member daily....it is important to me to understand.  Ashkuruki for your advice in this matter.
JazzakAllahu Khairan
