Excel your Pronunciation.

One of the most important steps to start with is to learn how to recite the Qur’an with tajweed. That means articulating the words as they should be pronounced in the Arabic language.

The Qur’an is an entire book consisting of 114 Surahs and 6666 Ayahs with numerous letters. It starts with how accurately you pronounce the letter which makes a word.

In short, understanding the letters, their sounds, and their pronunciation is important which will help you to the proper recitation. So, you need to first practice the sound of each letter well.

Have you ever noticed the recitation of renowned and experienced reciters of the Qur’an, it has a few pauses, deliberately done specific pronunciation of some letters, and features a certain rhythm. Why is it so?

It’s all because of Tajweed’s rules of reciting the Qur’an. And if you can master that, you will notice a major difference in your recitation of the Qur’an.

Remember, it’s really important to keep ourselves updated with the latest knowledge of Tajweed along with all the other things.

Focus on Intonation while reciting the Quran

What is Intonation? It’s the rise and fall of the reading and how you make a particular voice/ sound is also very important.

You should know the purpose of why it is so important to learn and understand when to increase the sound, when to slow down your pitch, and where to remain silent to perfect your recitation.

Perfection in Articulation of the rules, characteristics, vowels, etc. is Must!

Tajweed has some of its particular rules, like the utterance and sounds of the letters, hiding, and opening of the letters, etc. The point of articulation of a letter is the place of its phonation.

To master Tajweed, we must recognize each rule, giving every letter of the Qur’an its rights and dues of characteristics observing the rules. This is very important. Therefore, articulation while reading maintains a vital role for a flawless and fluent recitation of the Qur’an.

Learn how to Breath, pause, and stop at the right time.

To recite with proper Tajweed and in a continuous flow, then your articulation of the word and each letter should be on point. Paying each rule its due is important.

You need to follow each rule like hiding and showing the letter i.e., breathing, pausing, and stopping of the recitation at the right time. All of this together makes the reading meaningful.

2. Understand What is Being Recited

It’s an obligation for us Muslims to pay the Qur’an its due attention by proper reading and understanding of what is being read. If you can understand what you are reading, then nothing is like that. No translation can substitute the importance of understanding the book of Allah by learning Tafseer.

When you grasp what you’re reading, then you will be able to recite Qur’an with Tajweed from the bottom of your heart, putting all emotions. For this purpose, you need to learn the Qur’anic Arabic language, but how?

4 Practice beautifying your Quran recitation daily 

Make a habit of reading the Qur’an daily. You don’t need to recite a lot of pages every day, but a small chunk every day would do wonders to improve your Qur’an recitation. So, read daily even in smaller amounts. The repetition will help in improving your Qur’anic recitation. 

Consistency, persistence, and repetition are the key points

Haven’t you heard the ancient Thai saying that if you want to be a good kicker… kick!” The same formula applies to learning to recite Quran beautifully. Remember, the first advice given to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) “Recite!”. Recite as much as you can, as frequently as you can.

Trust me, you will see the wonders. Before you know it, you will be reading an unfamiliar page in the same amount of time it used to take you to read a couple of lines. That’s why we say, without persistence and repetition nothing is possible.

Moreover, whenever you start something new, link an old habit with a new habit. You have to be consistent with it every single day without fail to recite it in tune with fluency. Link it with something which you’re doing already every day such as brushing your teeth, or jogging in the morning.

Practice in Salah

An excellent way to practice the above-mentioned tips is to link your Tajweed practice with your 5 times daily prayers. You would already be in a state of wudhu, so Barakah starts already. And see how quickly you would learn to recite Quran daily in a beautiful voice.

Now commit, to reciting a small amount of the Qur’an every single day for the next 30 days after the selected prayer, and see the wonders.

Set goals as per your flexibility

Be realistic with your goal setting. If you have a lot of extra time on your hands, then start with learning and implementing tajweed rules daily. It can easily be an hour a day. It would involve viewing lessons, studying notes, and doing your workbooks.

But not everyone has a lot of time; school, work, and family commitments. So, people like these should plan something for weekends or with short-time commitments.

5. Listen to the Beautiful Recitation of a Famous Qari Daily

Do you have any favorite reciter of the Holy Qur’an? Who is he, maybe Sheikh AbdulRahman as-Sudais or Mishary Alafasy?

When we are not experts in Tajweed, it’s always the advisable and best approach to follow the experts. Keep your favorite Qur’an reciters’ recordings handy and listen to them whenever it’s possible like when you’re driving, cooking, etc. Observe the techniques, how to recite Qur’an melodiously.

Follow their recitation and use it to practice your recitation. You will learn how they pronounce certain words and how they articulate their voice to bring out that recitation that moves the heart.

You may also watch some Tajweed videos on Youtube. We have so many options, these days. Remember one more thing, it is not necessary to recite exactly in your favorite reciter’s voice. You may use it as an inspiration to recite in tune and soon enough you will develop your voice.

6. Teach Others How to Recite Quran Beautifully

Do you know that is the best way to learn and practice something in the shortest time possible? It’s to show someone the same and what’s better than explaining the Qur’an to others? As reported ’Uthman Says the Prophet of Allah, the greatest of you (Muslims) read and teach the Quran (Sahih Bukhari).

So, start it today by educating someone, start with relatives or friends and you can begin with your home. You can teach the basics of Tajweed fundamentals, laws, etc. Knowledge never goes to waste.
