Question

Asalam Alikum,

Is it true that if anyone who recites the Quran without Tajweed will be cursed by the Quraan and will be punished?

By the way your side is very beneficial, jazakAllah khiran.

Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

Subhana Allah, there are parts of reciting the Qur'an that are required, and other parts that are preferred and something a Muslim should strive for, but not sinful if one does not apply it.  There would be quite a few Muslims afraid to recite the Qur'an if every tajweed mistake would be considered sinful. 

Please see the following previous question and answer for further explanation.

Jazakum Allahu khairan for the comments, and may Allah make you of the people of the Qur'an.
