Question

Asalaam Aleykum.

I would like to know how many Tajweed types are there. Could you please tell me Qaris that recite the types of the Tajweed?

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

There are ten different ways of recitation that we have today transmitted in authentic chains from the Prophet, , with two narrators of each qari’. Some of these narrations are quite different than the other, so one cannot say that there are ten types of tajweed.  Some of the different ways of recitation are not so different from others, but others are very different.  There are also authentic turuq within each way, with some slight differences from the way of Shatibiyyah within the turuq.

There are many qurraa’ that can recite more than one way of recitation, and many have learned all ten of the qira’aat.  Sheikh Al-Husary has recorded many different ways of recitation, and some are available online. The following links have the recitation of Sheikh Al-Husary with different qira’aat.
