The word "tajweed" means to improve, make better.
Tajweed is the knowledge and application of the
rules of recitation so the reading of the Quran is
as the Prophet Mohammed peace and blessings be upon
him, recited.
Tajweed when related to the Holy Quran, means
recitation of the Holy Quran in the way the prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) recited the Quran. Tajweed in
general means ‘to make it fine”. As the Holy prophet
was the only person who produced the rightist
pronunciation of the Almighty’s words in the Holy
Quran. It is therefore imperative to learn Tajweed
to apply the same to read the Holy Quran for getting
exact pronunciation and meanings of the Quran words.

Importance of learn Quran with tajweed
Allah (SWT)
says in Holy Quran
“Or a little
more; and recite the Qur'an in slow measured
rhythmic tones.”
And Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said,
“The best
among you is he who learns Quran and or
teaches it.”
There are lot
of other verses and Hadith which show the
commandment from Allah to learn Quran with
tajweed. So it is compulsory for everyone to
recite and learn Quran with tajweed.
The purpose of Tajweed
The Quran is
the word of Allah, and its every syllable is
from Allah. Its recitation must be taken
very seriously. The purpose of the Science
of Tajweed in essence is to make the reciter
proficient in reciting the Quran, observing
the correct pronunciation of every letter
with the rulings and characteristics which
apply to each letter, without any
exaggeration or deficiency. And so through
this the reciter can recite the Quran upon
the way of the Prophet (pbuh) who received
it from Jibreel who received it from Allah (subhanahu
wa ta'aala) in Classical Arabic dialect that
it came down in.
Why Learning Tajweed is Necessary
Learning Tajweed is necessary because the
glorious Islam expanded in just a few
decades of its inception to most part of the
world. The people belonged to different
regions in the world and so did their
languages. Even alphabets of the languages
were different. The Holy Quran is for the
entire world and uptil the Day of Judgment.
With the spread of Islam, Arab and Non-Arab
were mixed together but they had much
difference in their languages and accents.
Even most of the Arabs can not read the Holy
Quran with Tajweed. At that time it was
feared that in the absence of Tajweed, if
the original spoken words of the prophets
are not preserved, it might lead to
distortion of pronunciation in the days to
come. It was therefore necessary that
Tajweed rules should be scientifically
outlined on uniform basis for Arabs and
Non-Arabs for preserving the same wording,
sounds, accent, pronunciation and meanings.
It is necessary both for Arabs and Non Arabs
to learn Tajweed and apply the Tajweed Rules
while reading Holy Quran
Why the need for Tajweed rules?
When Islam was being spread (and it was done
so at a very quick pace and also into
non-Arab speaking countries) not everyone's
tongue was accustomed to the Arabic letters
and sounds. Thus, when reciting the koran,
much error and distortion occurred and the
Muslim scholars feared (the perpetration of)
that error and distortion. It was at this
point that some of them recorded the rules
and foundations that regulate the correct
pronunciation of Qur'an, and they named this
the Science of Tajweed.
The rules were not made up by these
Scholars. In fact, all they did was closely
observe the perfect readers who read as they
were taught by the Prophet () and wrote down
for later generations the rules of
recitation of the earlier generations. From
the outset, Tajweed was a Science that
cannot be learnt only from a book and will
always retain this inherent quality.
Tips
for learning Tajweed
• You must find a Quran teacher who has
studied Tajweed to listen to your recitation
and correct you. Tajweed cannot merely be
learnt from books, because the movements of
your mouth as well as the sounds are
important and only a teacher can correct you
and make sure you are applying the rules
correctly. Sometimes local Mosques will run
classes. Quran recitation is a science which
was passed down generation by generation
through teachers not just books, with a
direct line to the Prophet (pbuh)
• Find a book containing the rules of
Tajweed and learn each rule little by
little, applying it as you go along with the
help of your teacher. There are many concise
Arabic books and in English there are some
books as well as tapes to help. Look for
books with some drawings showing you how to
pronounce each letter.
• Listen to Quran tapes of reciters who
recite very clearly, at a medium or slow
speed (like Sheikh Hudhaify or Sheikh
Muhammad Hosary) and try and notice them
applying the different rules of Tajweed.
Repeat after them while trying to apply the
rules you've learnt. Try to copy their tone
and melody as well and see how it changes as
the meaning of what they're reciting
changes.
• Tajweed website: There is an excellent
Tajweed website I came across in English
which details many aspects of Tajweed in a
very clear way including a Question and
Answer section:
• Tajweed Mus-haf: You can get a new Mus-haf
(copy of the Quran), called Mus-haf
at-Tajweed, which has the rules of Tajweed
incorporated in the text of the Quran in
colour coding! This is very helpful as it
prompts you as you go along. There is also a
computer program you can buy with it which
highlights Tajweed rules with recitation.
