Basic Rules of Tajweed

  • The word Tajweed means doing something well. It is to recite every letter correctly from its proper origin (makhraj) with its all qualities.

  • Learning “Tajweed” is very important for recitation because applying the rules of Tajweed protect us from making mistakes.

  • There are two types of mistakes.
    1:- Clear Mistake (اللَّحن الْجَلِى):
    It is changing a letter or changing a sign (harakah). This type of mistake is haraam.
    2:- Hidden Mistake (اللَّحن الخَفِى):
    It is ignoring ghunnah, ikhfa, iqlab, idgham etc. We should avoid this type of mistake.

  • The place from where a letter comes out from our mouth is called makhraj.

  • There are six (6) throatal letters.
    These letters are pronounced from three levels of our throat.
    1- Bottom of the Throat (ء ه )
    2- Middle of the Throat (ع ح)
    3- Top of the Throat (غ خ)
