Introduction
The Holy Quran is the word of Allah, revealed in Arabic. To recite it correctly, Muslims must follow the rules of Tajweed. The word Tajweed means “to improve” or “to make better.” In Quran recitation, it refers to pronouncing every letter with its correct rules, sounds, and characteristics. Without Tajweed, recitation can lose its beauty—and even change the meaning of Allah’s words.
What is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the science of pronouncing Quranic letters from their proper points of articulation. For example:
- The letter خ (Khaa) must be read from the throat, not the mouth.
- The letter ص (Saad) is pronounced with a heavy sound, unlike س (Seen).
These rules ensure the Quran is recited exactly as it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Why Tajweed Matters
- Preserves the Original Meaning
Even small changes in pronunciation can change meaning. Tajweed protects the words of Allah from mistakes. - Adds Beauty to Recitation
A proper recitation with Tajweed sounds melodious and brings peace to the heart. - Increases Spiritual Connection
When you recite with Tajweed, you feel closer to Allah and gain khushu’ (focus) in salah and daily tilawah. - Fulfills an Obligation
Scholars agree that Muslims should learn the basics of Tajweed because the Quran must be recited correctly.
Tajweed for Kids & Beginners
Children are like soft clay—they learn quickly. Teaching them Tajweed from the beginning ensures they grow with the habit of correct recitation. For beginners, starting with Noorani Qaida under the guidance of a teacher is the best way.
