Tajweed Resourses

Tajweed is the set of rules that govern the correct pronunciation of the letters and words in the Quran. The rules of Tajweed aim to ensure that the reader of the Quran recites the words correctly, with proper pronunciation, enunciation, and emphasis.

Here are some of the basic rules of Tajweed:

• Makharij al-Huruf (pronunciation of letters): Tajweed begins with the correct pronunciation of each letter in the Quran. Every letter has a specific point of articulation (makhraj) in the mouth and throat, and the reader must be able to pronounce each letter correctly in order to recite the Quran properly.
• Sifaat al-Huruf (attributes of letters): Tajweed also includes an understanding of the attributes of each letter, such as whether the letter is heavy or light, elongated or shortened, or whether it carries a specific sound quality.
• Noon and Meem Mushaddadah: Tajweed includes rules for the recitation of Noon and Meem Mushaddadah, which are indicated by the double diacritic above the letters. These letters are pronounced with emphasis and require a specific method of pronunciation.
• Ghunnah: Tajweed includes rules for the recitation of Ghunnah, which is the nasal sound that occurs when reciting certain letters.
• Qalqalah: Tajweed includes rules for the recitation of Qalqalah, which is a slight bouncing or echoing sound that occurs when reciting certain letters.
• Idgham: Tajweed includes rules for the recitation of Idgham, which is the merging of two letters or sounds into one.
• Madd: Tajweed includes rules for the recitation of Madd, which is the elongation of certain vowels.

These are just some of the basic rules of Tajweed. Learning and applying the rules of Tajweed can greatly enhance the beauty and effectiveness of reciting the Quran, and it is important for anyone who wishes to recite the Quran with proper pronunciation and meaning.
