History of Tajweed:

The rules of Tajweed were developed to preserve the correct pronunciation of the Quran as recited by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. As Islam spread to non-Arabic speakers, scholars formalized Tajweed rules to prevent mistakes in Quran recitation.

Purpose Of Tajweed:

The purpose of Tajweed is to:

  • Protect the Quran from incorrect pronunciation
