Question

I am very fond of listening quran with tajweed, can u guide me to any website from where I can download tilawah by famous qaris in mujawwad format.

I hope u will help me and guide me.

Always happiness in all you do.

Answer

Assalaam alaikum.

The following links have downloads of many famous qaris in different formats.  The Arabic link (there is an English link) has the tilaawah marked as to the kind of format the reading is whereas the English link does not: http://www.islamway.com/?iw_s=Quran  If you cannot read the Arabic letters because they are scrambled, click on View, then Encoding, then select Arabic Windows.  The whole top half of the page is different shuyookh reading in what is classified by the web page as murattil, which is a term used by some to mean slow reading just as the term mujawwad is used by others to mean the same thing.  We prefer the term tahqeeq. 

Other links that provide slow tilaawah are:

 http://www.islaam.net/main/display.php?category=22 (clearly marked as to speed) http://www.islaam.com/Reciters.aspx (This link’s reciters are not marked as to the speed of recitation)

And may Allah give you all happiness in this world and the Hereafter.
