Online Tajweed Course

Tajweed has to be heard to be taught

You cannot learn Tajweed from a book or a video alone. The rules are about sound — where a letter is made in the mouth, how long a vowel is held, when a sound is hidden or merged. Someone has to listen to you and correct you. That is why every Tajweed lesson here is live and one-to-one. You recite, your teacher stops you, and you fix it in the moment.

What the course covers

• Makharij — the exact articulation points of every letter, which is where most non-Arabic speakers need the most work. • Sifat — the qualities that distinguish similar-sounding letters. • The rules of Noon Saakin and Tanween: Izhar, Idgham, Iqlab and Ikhfa. • Meem Saakin, Qalqalah, and the rules of Laam and Raa. • Madd — the lengthenings, and how long each is actually held. • Stopping and starting: where a pause changes the meaning. We start from wherever you are. If the letters themselves need work, we start there rather than pretending otherwise.

Built for non-native speakers

Rules are explained in English, with the Arabic terms taught alongside so you recognise them later. Teachers are used to the specific sounds English speakers find hard — the difference between ح and ه, ق and ك, ص and س — and they have practical ways of fixing each one.

How long it takes

Honestly: that depends on how much you recite between lessons. Students who practise a little every day and take two lessons a week usually work through the main rules within a few months, then spend longer refining application while reciting. Your teacher records where you reached after each lesson, so progress is visible rather than a matter of impression.
