Tajwīd is the science of reciting the Holy Quran correctly — giving every letter its rightful articulation point (makhraj) and characteristics (sifat), and observing the rules of elongation (madd), nasalization (ghunnah), merging (idghām), and pausing. It was preserved through an unbroken chain of teachers from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, so that the Quran is recited today exactly as it was revealed. The marks and rules gathered here summarize the most important tajwīd rulings, grouped by where they apply.
Tajwīd is best learned by listening to skilled reciters and reciting to a qualified teacher who corrects you. Begin with the articulation points and characteristics of the letters, then the rules of noon and meem, the types of elongation (madd), and the rules of pausing. Consistent daily practice with a small portion is better than long, occasional sessions.
