The Not-Scary Method of Starting Quran Tajweed!

Do you struggle with pronouncing Arabic words while reading Quran? Do you worry that your salat may not be counted because of incorrect recitation? These are common concerns for those who read Quran. But don't worry, learning Quran tajweed does not have to be scary or intimidating.

Have you considered learning Quran tajweed but dismissed the idea, thinking it's too difficult? If so, read on! Quran tajweed often seems overwhelming due to misconceptions of it being filled with complicated rules. However, the fundamental aspect of tajweed is simply the pronunciation of letters. You will learn rules like Qalqalah and Idghaam, but these are not required for Quran recitation nor do they have to make your voice sound like a recording.

When you are not consistent in Quran recitation

Every Muslim should understand the basics of tajweed as it involves giving each letter its proper pronunciation, making sure to recite Allah's book without errors. This is important because in Arabic, the meaning of a word changes if the letter is pronounced from the incorrect origin (Makhaarij Al Huroof). For example, the incorrect pronunciation of the word "Qul" (قُلْ) from Surah Al-Ikhlas, can change its meaning from "Say" to "Eat." Continuously mispronouncing Allah's words is a possibility without knowledge of tajweed, making it crucial for every Muslim to learn.

Quran tajweed is not the same as Quran recitation and it is important to understand the difference. The goal of tajweed is to recite Allah's book with clear and error-free pronunciation. Remember, the core of tajweed is letter recognition and proper pronunciation, so don't overwhelm yourself with thoughts of rules.

Here are four tips to start your journey of learning Quran tajweed:

1. Work with a teacher
2. Start with basic rules and gradually progress
3. Practice regularly
4. Surround yourself with people who are knowledgeable and practicing tajweed.

So, start your Quran tajweed journey today and recite Quran with confidence!
