Quran Reading with Tajweed

Learn Quran Reading with Tajweed

Reading the Quran with proper Tajweed is an obligation for every Muslim. This course teaches you the rules of correct Quranic recitation so you read exactly as the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

What You Will Learn

• Makharij (articulation points of Arabic letters) — where each sound originates
• Sifat (characteristics of letters) — the qualities that distinguish similar sounds
• Madd rules (elongation) and their types — when and how long to stretch a sound
• Nun sakinah and tanween rules — izhar, idgham, iqlab, and ikhfa
• Meem sakinah rules — idgham shafawi, ikhfa shafawi, and izhar shafawi
• Waqf (stopping rules) and continuation — where to pause and where to continue
• Recitation with proper rhythm, melody and breath control

Who Is This Course For?

Students who can read Arabic letters and want to perfect their Quran recitation. Suitable for ages 5+ through adults. Beginners start with basic rules; intermediate students refine their recitation under a teacher's guidance.
