Rules of Tajweed Ul Quran teaches the rules for correct Quran recitation, focusing on Makharij (letter articulation), Sifaat (letter characteristics like heavy/light), Madd (elongation), Ghunnah (nasal sound), and rules for Noon Saakin/Tanween, Meem Saakin, Idgham, Ikhfa, and Izhaar, helping you pronounce each letter and word accurately as revealed, often starting with the alphabet and building to full verses with expert guidance and practice.
Should I learn Tajweed?
Tajweed is important because it ensures the Qur’an is recited correctly as it was revealed, preserving the meaning of the verses, preventing pronunciation errors, and beautifying recitation while fulfilling the command to recite the Qur’an with clarity and respect.
(Qur’an 73:4 – Surah Al-Muzzammil):
وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا
English Translation:
“And recite the Qur’an with measured, clear recitation.”
Explanation (brief, for context):
The word “Tarteel” means to recite the Qur’an slowly, clearly, and correctly, giving each letter its due right. This verse is the foundational evidence for learning Tajweed, as Tajweed provides the rules needed to fulfill this command properly.
Core Topics in a Tajweed Course:
Makharij Al-Huroof (Articulation Points): Where each letter originates in the mouth/throat (e.g., tongue tip, lips).
Sifaat Al-Huroof (Characteristics): Qualities like Harkafah (striking), Qalqalah (echoing), Tafkheem (thickening), Tarqeeq (thinning).
Noon Saakin & Tanween Rules: Izhaar (clarity), Idgham (merging), Iqlab (transformation), Ikhfaa (hiding).
Meem Saakin Rules: Similar rules (Izhaar, Idgham, Ikhfaa Shafawi) for the silent ‘M’.
Al-Madd (Elongation): Rules for lengthening vowels (e.g., Madd Munfasal, Madd Muttasil).
Ghunnah: The nasal sound for ‘N’ and ‘M’.
Waqf (Stopping): Rules for pausing and continuing recitation.
Idgham: Merging sounds.
How Courses Teach:
Structured Lessons: Start with the alphabet, syllables, then words, then verses.
Teacher-Led Recitation: Instructor recites, student repeats to mimic.
Listening & Repetition: Listening to skilled reciters (like Sheikh Al-Husary) and repeating exactly.
Visual Aids: Color-coded Quran texts or diagrams.
Practice: Focus on one rule at a time, breaking down difficult parts.
Benefits of Learning Qur’an Rules of Tajweed
Learning Tajweed ensures that the Qur’an is recited exactly as it was revealed, preserving both its meaning and beauty. A structured Tajweed course offers multiple spiritual, linguistic, and practical benefits for every learner.
1. Correct Pronunciation of Every Letter
Tajweed teaches Makharij al-Huroof, enabling learners to articulate each letter from its proper point in the mouth or throat. This prevents common pronunciation errors that can alter meanings and ensures accurate recitation of Qur’anic words.
2. Preservation of the Qur’an’s Original Meaning
By applying Sifaat al-Huroof—such as Tafkheem (heaviness), Tarqeeq (lightness), and Qalqalah (echoing)—Tajweed safeguards the intended meanings of verses, as even slight changes in sound can lead to different interpretations.
3. Beautification of Qur’anic Recitation
Rules of Madd (elongation), Ghunnah (nasal sound), and proper pauses (Waqf) enhance the rhythm and flow of recitation, making it more melodious and spiritually uplifting without exaggeration.
4. Compliance with Qur’anic Command
Reciting the Qur’an with Tajweed fulfills the command of Allah to recite the Qur’an clearly and correctly. Learning Tajweed helps Muslims honor the divine words with the respect they deserve.
5. Confidence in Public and Private Recitation
Understanding rules such as Noon Saakin and Tanween, Meem Saakin, Idgham, Ikhfaa, Izhaar, and Iqlab builds confidence, allowing learners to recite fluently without hesitation or fear of mistakes.
6. Step-by-Step Learning for All Levels
Tajweed courses follow a structured approach, beginning with the Arabic alphabet and gradually progressing to full verses. This makes Tajweed accessible to beginners while refining skills for advanced learners.
7. Learning Through Expert Guidance and Practice
Teacher-led recitation, repetition, and listening to skilled reciters ensure correct imitation and continuous improvement. Visual aids and focused practice on individual rules make learning effective and engaging.
8. Spiritual Connection and Khushuʿ (Humility)
Correct recitation deepens emotional and spiritual connection with the Qur’an. When verses are recited accurately, their impact on the heart is stronger, increasing concentration and humility during recitation and prayer.
