Ibn al-Jazari (1350 - 1429 CE) wrote two large poems about Qira'at and tajwid. It is 1173 lines long and a major reference for the seven qira’aat. In it, he documented the rules of recitation of Naafi’, Ibn Katheer, Abu ‘Amr, Ibn ‘Aamir, ‘Aasim, al-Kisaa’i, and Hamzah. Imam Al-Shatibi (1320 - 1388 CE) wrote a poem outlining the two most famous ways passed down from each of seven strong imams, known as ash-Shatibiyyah.

Ību Bakr Ibn Mujāhid (859 - 936 CE) wrote a book called Kitab al-Sab’ fil-qirā’āt 'The Seven of the Recitations.' He is the first to limit the number of recitations to the seven known. He made the reality, transmitted through reciters of every generation, a science with defined rules, terms, and enunciation. He wrote about 25 reciters, including the 7 mutawatir reciters. The history of Quranic recitation is tied to the history of qira'at, as each reciter had their own set of tajwid rules, with much overlap between them.Ību Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam (774 - 838 CE) was the first to develop a recorded science for tajwid, giving the rules of tajwid names and putting it into writing in his book called al-Qiraat. It is said that the first person to collect the science of tajwīd in his book Kitāb al-Qirā'āt was Imām Abu ʻUbaid al-Qāsim bin Salām (774 - 838 CE) in the third century of Hijra. So the scholars of the Qur’an began to write the rules and rules of intonation. The beginning of the science of tajwīd was when the Islamic state expanded in the third century of Hijra, where error and melody increased in the Qur’an due to the entry of many non-Arabs to Islam. Tajwīd or the science of tajwīd in Islam is a science by which one learns the pronunciation of Qur’anic words as pronounced by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Technically, it means giving every letter its right in reciting the Qur'an. In Arabic, the term tajwīd is derived from the verb جود ( jawada), from the triliteral root ج-و-د‎ ( j-w-d), meaning enhancement or to make something excellent. In the context of the recitation of the Quran, tajwīd ( Arabic: تجويد tajwīd, IPA:, ' elocution') is a set of rules for the correct pronunciation of the letters with all their qualities and applying the various traditional methods of recitation ( Qira'at). Muṣḥaf al-tajwīd, an edition of the Qur'an printed with colored letters to facilitate tajweed.
