Tajweed

Tajweed is the set of rules for correctly pronouncing and reciting the Arabic words of the Quran. It ensures that each letter is articulated accurately and the pronunciation respects the internal and external qualities of the sounds. Think of it as the musical notation that guides a performer to produce a precise and harmonious rendition. Proper Tajweed preserves the beauty and meaning of the Quran, prevents misinterpretation, and enhances the spiritual experience of recitation. It involves understanding the rules of letter articulation, elongation, pauses, and intonation to recite or read the Quran with precision and reverence.
