What is the Tajweed course?
Tajweed refers to the rules of correct Qur’an recitation – proper pronunciation, articulation, letter characteristics, and pausing. It is important because reciting the Qur’an with Tajweed is an act of worship that honors the words of Allah and ensures you understand the meanings correctly. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized reciting the Qur’an beautifully, and Tajweed is the systematic way to do that.
What is the cost of Tajweed course?
Costs vary: ₹2000/month for 1-on-1, or ₹3999– groups online.
What are the 7 rules of Tajweed?
Ikhfa, Idgham, Iqlab, Ghunna, Qalqalah, Madd, and Rules of Laam & Raa.
What are the 12 Tajweed rules?
They expand on basic rules, covering all types of Madd, Noon Saakin, Meem Saakin, and articulation points.
What are the 4 pillars of Tajweed?
Makharij (points), Sifaat (qualities), Ahkam (rules), and Tarteel (rhythm).
Is Tajweed sunnah or nafl?
It’s Fard (obligatory) to recite the Qur’an correctly for Salah validity.
What are makharij and why do they matter?
Makharij (مخارج) are the points of articulation – the places in your throat, mouth, and lips where each Arabic letter originates. Correct makharij means pronouncing every letter from its proper place, which changes the meaning of words. For example, pronouncing mīm from the lips (not the teeth) or ṭā’ from the middle of the tongue (not the front) makes the difference between correct and incorrect reading. IqraExpert teachers train you to feel and hear each letter from the right place.
What are the three types of Tawheed?
Tawheed ar-Rububiyyah, al-Uluhiyyah, and al-Asma wa Sifaat.
Will my child need to memorize the Qur’an to learn Tajweed?
No. Tajweed and memorization (hifz) are separate. You learn Tajweed rules by applying them to any Qur’anic text – we focus on Sūrat al-Fātiḥah, short sūrahs from Juz ‘Amma, and salah recitation. If you wish to combine memorization with Tajweed later, IqraExpert offers advanced hifz + Tajweed courses after you complete the basic Tajweed course.
How long does it take to complete the full Tajweed course?
The course typically takes 14–20 weeks depending on how frequently you take lessons (1–3 per week) and how much you practice at home. Some students finish in 3 months with 3 lessons per week; others prefer a slower, more thorough pace of 5–6 months with 1–2 lessons per week. You control the speed.
What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4?
Level 1 (4–6 weeks): Foundations – learn Arabic letters, makharij, basic sounds for absolute beginners.
Level 2 (8–10 weeks): Core Tajweed Rules – master noon sākinah, tanwīn, meem sākinah, qalqalah, heavy/light letters.
Level 3 (6 weeks): Advanced Rules – learn madd (prolongation), waqf (stopping), hamzah, rhythm, and accent.
Level 4 (4 weeks): Application – apply all rules on Sūrat al-Fātiḥah, short sūrahs, and daily salah recitation, then take final assessment.
Do I have to take all 4 levels, or can I start at a higher level?
It depends on your current level. If you can already read Arabic clearly, you may skip Level 1 and start at Level 2. Before enrolling, we offer a free assessment lesson where the teacher evaluates your reading level and recommends where to start. You don’t pay for levels you don’t need.
What are the 7 heavy letters in Tajweed?
خ, ص, ض, غ, ط, ق, ظ — they’re always read with a full/heavy mouth.
What if I don’t know Arabic alphabet at all?
That is exactly what Level 1 is for. We start from zero – teaching you to recognize every Arabic letter, read it in different positions, and pronounce it correctly. Many of our students started without knowing any Arabic, and now they read the Qur’an confidently.
Are the classes live or pre-recorded?
All IqraExpert Tajweed classes are live and one-to-one (or small group if you choose). You connect with your teacher via Zoom, google meet, WhatsApp video at a scheduled time each week. Live classes mean you get instant feedback, correction, and personalized attention – which is essential for learning Tajweed correctly.
What if I cannot attend a scheduled class?
No problem. You can reschedule your class to another time that week, or if needed, the following week. We understand life happens. Plus, if you attend live, a recording is provided so you can review the lesson, though recordings are for reference only – the live interaction is where real learning happens.
What time slots are available?
IqraExpert offers classes 7 days a week, from early morning (6 AM IST) through late evening (9 PM IST). You choose the time that fits your schedule – whether you are in India, USA, UK, Australia, or anywhere else. Book your preferred time slot when you enroll, and we will match you with an available teacher.
Can I take classes from outside India?
Yes, absolutely. IqraExpert serves students worldwide – USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Middle East, Europe, and more. All classes are online, so geography does not matter. Times are adjusted based on your time zone, and teachers are experienced with international students.
What languages do the teachers speak?
All teachers speak fluent English. Many also speak Urdu, Hindi, or Arabic. This makes it easy for students from India, Pakistan, and Arabic-speaking countries to learn. If you need a teacher who speaks a specific language, mention it when booking, and we will accommodate you.
Do you offer a free trial lesson?
Yes. Every new student gets a free 30-minute trial lesson with a qualified teacher. This lesson serves as an assessment – the teacher evaluates your current level and recommends which course level to start at. No payment is required, and you are not obligated to continue after the trial.
