Tajweed means giving every letter of the Quran its right: its correct point of articulation, its qualities, and the rules that apply when letters meet. The word comes from an Arabic root meaning to make something good or excellent.
This course teaches the rules simply and then applies them immediately in your own recitation. Clear errors that change a letter or a meaning are fixed first, then the finer points are refined, so your recitation improves from the first week rather than after months of theory.
Because Tajweed is learned by listening and being corrected, every lesson is live and one-on-one. Mufti Muhammad Areeb hears each sound you make and shows you exactly how to fix it.
This course is for you if…
- You can read from the Mushaf but are unsure of the rules
- You learned to read quickly and want to correct old habits
- You want your recitation checked by a teacher, not an app

Ask on WhatsAppWhat is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the set of rules for reciting the Quran correctly: giving every letter its proper sound and qualities, and applying rules such as ghunnah, madd and qalqalah where letters meet.
Is learning Tajweed obligatory?
Scholars of recitation distinguish between clear errors that change letters or meaning, which every reciter must avoid, and finer points of perfection. This course fixes the clear errors first, then refines the rest.
Can Tajweed really be learned online?
Yes, as long as a teacher hears you recite. Tajweed is learned by listening and being corrected, and live one-on-one video lessons allow exactly that.
How long does it take to learn Tajweed?
The core rules usually take a few months with two or three lessons a week. Applying them naturally in your own recitation is a habit that keeps improving with practice.
