Level 1 Tajweed Course (September 2024)
This Level 1 Tajweed Course is a 12 week course with 2 lessons per week perfecting the rules and practising recitation with in-depth lessons to help improve. This course is taught by Ustadha Fouzia, a qualified female teacher of Quran.
The Quran is revered not only for its spiritual significance but also for its unparalleled literary beauty. One essential aspect that enhances its recitation is Tajweed, an intricate set of rules and techniques governing the proper pronunciation and melodious rendition of its verses. Tajweed, derived from the Arabic root “ج-و-د,” meaning “to make better,” is an art that ensures the precise articulation of every letter, the correct elongation of vowels, and the graceful application of pauses and intonations.
Tajweed serves as a bridge between the divine revelation and the reader’s heart, allowing the words of Allah to be recited in a manner that honors their depth and meaning. By mastering Tajweed, reciters can capture the intended nuances, emotions, and rhythm of the Quranic verses, thereby connecting with the text on a profound level. The rules of Tajweed are not only designed to maintain the integrity of the words but also to create a spiritually uplifting experience for both the reciter and the listener.
In this journey to comprehend and apply the principles of Tajweed, individuals embark on a path of self-improvement and spiritual growth. This introductory guide aims to shed light on the significance of Tajweed, its historical context, and its transformative impact on the recitation of the Quran. Through its exploration, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the meticulous care with which the Quran was revealed, and how the art of Tajweed preserves that essence to this day.

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one day, a man appeared with very white clothes and very black hair. There were no signs of travel on him and we did not recognize him. He sat in front of the Prophet, rested his knees by his knees, and placed his hands on his thighs. The man said, “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Prophet said, “Islam is to testify there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give charity, to fast the month of Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if a way is possible.” The man said, “You have spoken truthfully.” We were surprised that he asked him and said he was truthful. He said, “Tell me about faith.” The Prophet said, “Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in providence, its good and its harm.” The man said, “You have spoken truthfully. Tell me about excellence.” The Prophet said, “Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He surely sees you.” The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet said, “The one asked does not know more than the one asking.” The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said, “The slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and you will see barefoot, naked, and dependent shepherds compete in the construction of tall buildings.” Then, the man returned and I remained. The Prophet said to me, “O Umar, do you know who he was?” I said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” The Prophet said, “Verily, he was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.”
