In short: Tajweed classes teach the rules of Quran recitation: where each letter comes from (makharij), the characteristics of letters, and rules such as noon sakinah, meem sakinah, madd and qalqalah. A live teacher listens to your recitation and corrects it, which is the only reliable way to apply Tajweed.
What you learn in Tajweed classes
Tajweed is learned by hearing, reciting and being corrected. The rules give you the reason behind each correction.
- Makharij: the correct point of articulation for each letter
- Sifat: the characteristics of letters
- Noon sakinah and tanween, and meem sakinah rules
- Madd (elongation) and its types
- Qalqalah, and stopping and starting correctly
Who Tajweed classes are for
Tajweed assumes you can already read Arabic. If you cannot yet, we begin with reading and add Tajweed as soon as you are ready.
- Learners who read but want to improve
- Parents who want their children to recite properly
- Students preparing for memorisation or Ijazah
- Anyone who leads prayer or recites publicly
Ijazah-certified teachers
Our Quran and Tajweed teachers are Ijazah-certified native Arabic speakers. You can choose a male or female teacher.
Common Tajweed topics
Tajweed covers the points where each letter is pronounced (Makharij), the qualities of each letter (Sifat) and the rules that apply when letters meet. Typical topics are the rules of Noon Sakinah and Tanween, Meem Sakinah, Madd (lengthening), Qalqalah and Ghunnah.
A teacher introduces them in a sensible order, so each new rule builds on the one before.
How correction works
You recite and the teacher listens verse by verse. When there is a mistake, the teacher stops you, names the rule, models the right sound and asks you to repeat. This is the heart of Tajweed learning, and it is why a live teacher matters more here than in almost any other subject.
Practising Tajweed between lessons
Recite slowly, record yourself and compare with a qualified reciter. Practise one rule at a time, and bring your questions to the next lesson. Short and regular sessions work better than long ones.
Tajweed for every level
A beginner learns the basic rules slowly with a lot of correction. An intermediate reader refines specific mistakes, such as heavy and light letters or lengthening. An advanced reciter works on fine points and fluency, sometimes before an Ijazah.
Your teacher listens in the first lesson and sets a plan for your level.

Questions students ask
What is Tajweed?
Tajweed is the set of rules for pronouncing the letters of the Quran correctly and reciting it as it was taught.
Do I need to read Arabic before Tajweed?
Yes, basic reading is needed. If you cannot read yet, start with our beginner Quran course and add Tajweed after.
Can I learn Tajweed online effectively?
Yes. A live one-to-one lesson lets the teacher hear you, correct you immediately and repeat until it is right.
Do you prepare students for Ijazah?
An Ijazah programme is available. Ask us about it during your trial lesson.
Can I learn Tajweed without knowing Arabic?
Yes. Tajweed is about sounds and rules of recitation. You can learn it without knowing the meaning of the words.
How long does it take to learn Tajweed?
It depends on your starting point and how often you have lessons. Some rules take a few lessons, and applying them smoothly while reciting takes longer. Your teacher gives you a clear plan.
Do I need to read fluently before Tajweed?
You should be able to read the Quran slowly. If you cannot yet, start with beginner reading lessons, and Tajweed will follow.
