The Importance of Tajweed in Quran Recitation
“And recite the Quran with measured recitation” (Quran 73:4)
💡 Key Takeaway
Reciting the Holy Quran is not just about reading words — it is about reciting Allah’s words correctly, beautifully, and respectfully. This is why Tajweed is essential. Learning Tajweed protects the meaning of the Quran and improves your spiritual connection with Allah. At Al Sheeraz Islamic School, we help students learn Quran properly through structured online Quran classes with Tajweed.
Why Is Tajweed Important?
The Quran is the literal word of Allah, revealed in the Arabic language. Because Arabic is a precise language, even a small pronunciation error can change the meaning of a verse completely. This is why understanding the importance of Tajweed in Quran recitation is crucial for every Muslim.
Tajweed ensures that every letter is pronounced from its correct articulation point (Makharij) and with its proper characteristics (Sifaat). Without Tajweed, a person may unknowingly make serious mistakes while reciting the Quran.
﴾ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا ﴿
“And recite the Quran with measured recitation”
— Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:4)
What Is Tajweed?
Tajweed (تجويد) linguistically means “to improve” or “to make better”. In Islamic terminology, Tajweed refers to the rules that govern the correct pronunciation of Quranic letters.
Tajweed involves learning how long to stretch sounds (Madd), when to merge letters (Idgham), when to hide sounds (Ikhfa), and how to pronounce letters from their correct articulation points. The Quran was revealed with Tajweed, and reciting it correctly is an act of worship.
