🌙 What is Tajweed? | Learn the Rules of Tajweed with Online Female Qariah

Tajweed (تَجْوِيد‎) literally means "to make better" or "to improve." In the context of the Quran, it refers to the set of rules that govern the correct pronunciation and articulation of the Quranic letters and words. Tajweed is not just about reading the Quran beautifully—it is about reading it correctly, the way it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The Quran was revealed with Tajweed. When Angel Jibreel (عليه السلام) taught the Quran to the Prophet ﷺ, he taught it with perfect pronunciation, rhythm, and clarity. Today, every Muslim who wishes to read and recite the Quran as it was revealed must learn and apply the rules of Tajweed.

🕋 Importance of Tajweed in Islam

Learning Tajweed is essential for all Muslims, whether they are new learners, kids, or adults. Mispronouncing letters can change the entire meaning of Quranic words. For example, mixing up similar-sounding letters like س (seen) and ص (saad), or ز (zay) and ذ (zaal) can lead to major mistakes.

By learning Tajweed, you:

Protect yourself from changing the meanings of Quranic verses.

Improve the beauty and fluency of your recitation.

Gain more reward and khair by reading the Quran the way it was meant to be read.

Follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
