paying attention to the science of recitation, reading tarteel and applying the rules
of punctuation when reading. Al-Qur’an and tajweed are two things that cannot be
separated because this is related to whether or not we all read the Al-Qur’an
correctly, even if this is not paid attention to or is ignored it will result in changing
the meaning and meaning. In this age of technological advances, many Muslims
read the Al-Qur’an but they pay less attention than the articulation point, length
and punctuation, while reading the Al-Qur’an itself is reading during prayer.

an imam is needed who has good quality Al-Qur’an reading and according to the
rules, but until now there are still many Imams in the midst of society who are still
lacking in the quality of their reading of the Al-Qur’an, if this is not followed up
then errors will occur which can damage prayer services. it is this anxiety that is
becomes the background of this research and the subject matter of this writing is
how the smoothly and fluently of reading the Al-Qur’an is assessed from the
aspects of articulation points of the letter, characterisctic of letter, tajweed, Medd
and punctuation.
