Tajweed is an Arabic word meaning “proficiency”, “doing
something well” or “proper pronunciation” of recitation the Quran following the
rules and regulation. It is a set of rules which direct how the Quran should be
read. Tajweed is a fard (religious duty) when reciting the Qur'an.
The Qur’an was revealed with Tajweed rules applied to it. In
other words, when the angel Jibreel (alaihis salaam) recited the words of Allah
to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) he recited them in a
certain way and he showed the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) the ways
in which it was permissible to recite the Qur’an. So it is upon us to observe
those rules so that we recite it in the way it was revealed.
