Al Quran Al Kareem Tajweedi - 16 Lines (Hafizi 7B)

Al Quran Al Kareem Tajweedi, 16 Lines (Hafizi 7B) is a colour-coded tajweed Quran in the 16 line Hafizi layout used by huffaz across Pakistan, India and the Indo-Pak community in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Letters where a tajweed rule applies are printed in colour, and a colour key at the foot of every page explains each rule in English and Urdu. It is a 14x21 cm hardcover of 568 pages in bold Indo-Pak script, made for students who want to memorise and perfect their recitation from the same Mushaf.

Why hifz students use a 16 line Quran

A 16 line Quran puts exactly 16 lines of text on every page and ends each page at the same place in every copy. That consistency matters when you are memorising. A student learns a page at a time, the teacher listens by page, and over months the shape of each page becomes part of the student's memory: where a verse starts, which line a word sits on, how the page ends. Changing to a Mushaf with a different layout can make that memory feel unfamiliar, which is why many madrasahs ask students to stay with one 16 line Hafizi Quran from the start of hifz to the end.

This edition adds tajweed to that layout. Instead of learning the rules separately and hoping to remember them while reciting, the student sees each rule marked on the word itself.

How the colour-coded tajweed works

Rules marked on the letter

Wherever a tajweed rule applies, the letter or letters involved are printed in colour. You see the rule at the exact moment you reach it, which is how many teachers correct recitation in class anyway.

A colour key on every page

Each page carries a short key at the bottom, in English on one side and Urdu on the other, so you never need to look up what a colour means. The key covers rules including ghunnah (nasalisation), ikhfa (concealing the nasal sound), qalqalah (the echo sound on a stopped letter), heavy letters, madd (lengthening) and reading taa marbutah as haa when stopping.

Clear Indo-Pak script

The Arabic is printed in the bold Indo-Pak style of script, with circled verse markers, surah headers that show whether a surah is Makki or Madani, and the number of ayahs and rukus for each surah. The opening pages are framed in an ornate illuminated border.

Learning tajweed with this Mushaf

For a beginner, the easiest approach is to learn one rule at a time. Pick a colour, read the key at the bottom of the page, and then recite the page paying attention only to that colour. Once it comes naturally, add the next. Teachers can do the same with a class, focusing on ghunnah one week and madd the next. Because every student is holding the same 16 line layout, the teacher can say "page 12, line 7" and the whole class is on the same word.

For a hafiz who already knows the rules, the colours act as a quiet reminder during revision, catching the small slips that creep in when you recite quickly from memory.

16 line tajweed Quran: frequently asked questions

What is a 16 line Quran?

A 16 line Quran is a Mushaf with 16 lines of Arabic text on every page, the layout widely used for hifz in Pakistan, India and the wider Indo-Pak community. Because every page carries the same number of lines and the same portion of text, students memorise by page, and the page layout itself becomes part of their memory.

What does Hafizi mean?

Hafizi means the Mushaf is laid out for a hafiz, someone memorising the Quran. The text follows a fixed page pattern so that each page ends at the same point in every copy, which keeps revision consistent between student, teacher and madrasah.

How does the tajweed colour coding work?

Letters where a tajweed rule applies are printed in colour, and a colour key at the foot of every page, in English and Urdu, explains what each colour means. The key covers rules such as ghunnah (nasalisation), ikhfa (concealing the nasal sound), qalqalah (the echo sound), heavy letters, madd (lengthening) and reading taa marbutah as haa when you stop.

Is the Arabic in Indo-Pak script?

Yes. The text is printed in the bold Indo-Pak style of script that 16 line Qurans are known for, with verse markers, surah headers showing Makki or Madani revelation, and ayah and ruku counts.

What size is this Mushaf and how many pages does it have?

It is a 14x21 cm hardcover of 568 pages, a practical size to carry to class and to hold comfortably while reciting.

Is this the same as Mu'alim al-Tajweed?

Yes. This 7B, 16 line tajweed edition is also sold under the name Mu'alim al-Tajweed in some regions. On Darussalam Store it is listed as Al Quran Al Kareem Tajweedi.

Who should use this tajweed Quran?

Hifz students who want to learn tajweed at the same time as they memorise, teachers who want their class reading from the same page layout, adults improving their recitation, and anyone who learned to read in Indo-Pak script and wants a colour-coded Mushaf.
