Some parents may find that learning all Tajweed rules is difficult, and children may find it hard to learn all Tajweed rules of the Qur’an. It might take a lot of time for the child to complete learning all the rules of Tajweed.
But don’t worry! At Al-Muslim Quran Academy, we follow some simple and effective methods to help children learn all Tajweed rules in 3 months. Here are some steps to help make it easier:
First Step: Start with the Exits of Letters
We begin by teaching the child the exits of the Arabic letters and their characteristics. This helps the child understand how to pronounce each letter properly.
Second Step: Apply the Rules During Recitation
While the child is reciting the Holy Qur’an, we apply the Tajweed rules so that they are firmly fixed in their mind. This makes it easier to remember and apply them.
Third Step: Repetition
Repetition is key! We keep going over what the child has already studied, making sure they remember the rules and can apply them correctly.
Different Types of Tajweed
There are different types of Tajweed rules that we use to make learning fun and effective.
How Many Rules are There in Tajweed?
There are five main Tajweed rules. Here’s a list of all the Tajweed rules in detail, with examples:
- First Rule – Exiting Letters CorrectlyArabic letters have different exits and pronunciations. It’s important to pronounce them correctly so the meaning of the word is accurate. There are 17 exits to learn, like the throat, lips, edges of the folds, etc.
- Second Rule – Madd (Extension)Madd refers to the extension of letters. For example, when an “Alif” follows a word, it gets extended. There are different types of Madd, like mandatory, permissible, and others based on the word’s structure.
- Third Rule – Meem Sakinah and TanweenMeem has a special rule in Tajweed. When it comes at the end of a word, it can be pronounced differently, like in “Ikhfaa” and “Idgham” cases.
- Fourth Rule – Noon Sakinah and TanweenNoon sakinah and Tanween have specific rules depending on which letter follows them. For example, with letters like “Ra” and “Lam,” it gets combined, but with others like “Ba,” it changes.
- Fifth Rule – Ibtidaa (Beginning)Ibtidaa is about how to start reading the Qur’an. This includes saying “A’udhu Billahi Min Ash-Shaytan Ar-Rajeem” (seeking refuge from Satan) and then “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah).
Types of Tajweed
Tajweed is divided into two parts:
- Practical (Applied) TajweedThis is when you recite the Qur’an properly with correct pronunciation. It’s a must for every Qur’an reciter.
- Scientific (Theoretical) TajweedThis involves learning the rules and understanding how they work. It’s necessary for those who want to teach others how to read the Qur’an with correct Tajweed.
