Tajweed refers to the set of rules governing the pronunciation during the recitation of the Quran. The purpose of Tajweed is to ensure that the Quran is recited correctly, preserving the proper pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.
Here are some of the basic Tajweed rules:
1. *Makharij Al-Huruf (Articulation Points of Letters)*:
– Understanding the specific places from where the letters originate in the mouth and throat.
2. *Sifaat Al-Huruf (Characteristics of Letters)*:
– Recognizing the attributes of each letter such as strength, weakness, and others.
3. *Noon Saakinah and Tanween*:
– Rules related to the pronunciation of the letter “noon” when it is saakin (with a sukoon) and the tanween (double vowels).
4. *Meem Saakinah*:
– Rules for the letter “meem” when it is saakin (with a sukoon).
5. *LaaM Sakinah*:
– Guidelines for pronouncing the letter “laam” when it has a sukoon.
6. *Qalqalah*:
– A slight echoing sound for specific letters when they carry a sukoon.
7. *Ghunna*:
– A nasal sound for the letters noon and meem when they have a shaddah.
8. *Madd (Prolongation)*:
– Extending the pronunciation of certain letters for a specific number of counts.
9. *Idghaam (Assimilation)*:
– Merging of a non-voweled letter into a voweled letter.
10. *Ikhfaa (Concealment)*:
– A subtle nasal sound for certain letters when followed by a sukoon.
11. *Iqlab (Conversion)*:
