Simple rules of tajweedPage 1IntroductionTajweed literally means to adorn and beautify. In the context of therecitation of the Quraan Shareef, tajweed refers to the correctpronunciation of the letters and applying the various rules ofrecitation.The importance of Tajweed cannot be overemphasized. Therecitation of the Qur’aan Shareef in salaah is compulsory. Often, dueto not reciting the Qur’aan Shareef with Tajweed, the salaah isaffected. It is therefore necessary to learn Tajweed so that theQur’aan Shareef may be recited correctly.Arabic is a very delicate language. A slight mispronunciation cancompletely change the meaning. The word Qalb means heart. If theQaaf in Qalb is not pronounced correctly and instead, it ispronounced as a kaaf, the meaning changes to “dog!” In SurahKausar the word “wan Har” means sacrifice. If the Haa is notpronounced correctly the meaning changes to “scold!” It is thusobvious that the rules of Tajweed must be applied in the recitationof the Qur’aan Shareef.There are many detailed laws of tajweed which take a long time tostudy. However this booklet contains the most basic laws which, iflearnt thoroughly, will enable a learner on the Maktab level to recitethe Quraan Shareef correctly. It must nevertheless be rememberedthat the correct application of the rules of tajweed depends uponlistening to its application by someone who has learnt how torecite the Qur’aan Shareef with Tajweed. Thus the teacher mustclearly recite the various examples to the children, highlighting theparticular rule that is being applied therein. The children must thenbe made to repeatedly practice the examples in the book withadditional examples from the Qur’aan Shareef in order to fully graspthe application of the rule.
