Lahn(Mistake)


Making mistakes in the Quran:
 اللحن-in general means rhythym, but in tajweed means ‘error’.

1) اللحن الجلي (obvious errors): It is making a clear mistake, something that is clearly heard. For example, switching letters daal ( د) with dhal , or Qaaf ( ق with kaaf (ك), or changing the tashkeel . This kind of mistake is Haram.

 2) اللحن الخفي (hidden errors): This is when reading properly but making errors in tajweed, example, not saying the ghunnah (nasalization) or tanween. This one doesn’t change the meanings of the words, Arabic is correct but rules of the tajweed are not followed. Many scholars consider this type as haraam, the least is makrooh (dislikes) because it takes away the beauty of Quran.
