1. Maqaam al-Bayyaat (Bayati): This is a maqaam that evokes humility and monasticism. It is the maqaam that focuses the heart and makes it ponder the verses of Allah and their meanings.

2. Maqaam ar-Rast (Rast): Rast is Persian word meaning steadfastness. Specialists in maqaamaat prefer this maqaam when reciting verses that tell narratives or prescribe rulings.

3. Maqaam an-Nahaawand (Nahawand): This maqaam evokes emotions of compassion and gentleness, and instils humility and reflection. Nahawand is an Iranian city after which this maqaam was named.

4. Maqaam as-Seeka (Sikah): This maqaam is distinguished by its slow and easy pace.

5. Maqaam as-Saba (Saba): This maqaam is very spiritual and powerful, and evokes emotions of compassion.

6. Maqaam al-Hijaaz (Hijaz): This is a maqaam of Arabian origin, named after the Hijaz region of Arabia. It is one of the most spiritual maqaams and one of the most effective in helping one to focus in recitation of Qur’an.

[mrpullafastone]

I love maqam ajam. To me, it brings more emotions

[MrJoebeliever]

It’s very difficult for those of us that are not from the Middle East to grasp maqamat, because they're built on melodic modes and microtonal structures we're not used to hearing. A basic analogy would be to imagine a set of piano keys. Now imagine that between any two of those keys there are 1 or more additional notes. Maqamat leverage these notes regularly, which is why they're traditionally performed on stringed instruments that can be finely tuned like the oud.

Although it’s permissible for maqamat to be applied, they should be lower on our list of priorities when reciting Qur'an (after tajweed, makharij, sifaat, hifz). The unspoken reality is that you have to have been immersed in a culture, hearing Umm Kulthum, Fairuz, Wadih El Safi, Abdel Halim (or the Turkish/Iranian etc equivalents) being played around you since childhood. Either that or you would have to learn for many years from a qaari with ijaazah. Even then, maqamat require an extremely well-tuned ear, which the majority of people simply don't have.

The greatest qurrah are those who can apply the maqamat in moderation without altering tajweed, which takes a lifetime to master. Maqamat can be a slippery slope, so it's best to use them in moderation and not to take them too seriously when beautifying your recitation. W'Allahu a'alam.

Good on brother Faisal for making the effort. May Allah ﷻ reward him.

[ArdoBlueMoon]

I think Rast is quite uplifting and Ajam is more serene and mellow. These are my go to maqams I think.
