Online Tajweed Course
Master Every Rule of Beautiful Quran Recitation
Learn the science of Tajweed from a certified Qari at IqraExpert — Makharij al-Huruf, Sifaat, Noon Sakinah, Meem Sakinah, Madd, Qalqalah, and the rules of Waqf. Live one-on-one classes where every Ayah is heard, every letter corrected, every habit fixed. The way Tajweed must be learned.
What Is the Online Tajweed Course?
Tajweed (تَجْوِيد) is the set of rules that govern how every letter of the Quran must be pronounced — its point of articulation (Makhraj), its characteristics (Sifaat), how it joins or separates from the next letter, when to elongate, when to stop, when to bounce. Reciting the Quran without Tajweed is not the way it was revealed. Reciting it with Tajweed is how the Prophet ﷺ recited it, and how it has been transmitted by an unbroken chain of scholars for over fourteen hundred years.
The IqraExpert Online Tajweed Course teaches every rule of Tajweed live, one-on-one, with a certified Qari listening to every letter you recite. There are no recorded videos. There are no group batches. There is a Qari, a student, a Mushaf, and a session in which every mistake is heard and corrected — until the recitation meets the standard of Ijazah.
“And recite the Quran with measured recitation.”
Tajweed cannot be learned from a recording. A recording cannot hear you mispronounce a letter. A recording cannot tell you that your Ghunnah is too short or that your Qalqalah is too soft. Only a qualified Qari, listening live, can teach you Tajweed — which is exactly how IqraExpert teaches it.
Who Should Take This Course?
Quran Reciters Who Want to Improve
You can already read the Quran but suspect your pronunciation is incorrect. You hear professional Qaris and notice your recitation sounds different. This course is built exactly for you — a complete walkthrough of every Tajweed rule, applied to your existing recitation, until correctness becomes second nature.
Noorani Qaida Graduates
You have completed Noorani Qaida and learned to read Arabic, but Tajweed rules were not taught in depth. This course picks up exactly where Qaida ends — adding the science of Makharij, Sifaat, Madd, Qalqalah, and Waqf so you recite the way the Quran is meant to be recited.
Children Aged 8 and Above
Children who can already read Arabic letters and want to recite the Quran beautifully — for school competitions, family gatherings, or simply for the love of it. Taught by patient Qaris who turn pronunciation drills into an enjoyable challenge rather than a chore.
Hifz Students & Adults Pursuing Ijazah
Hafiz students who have memorised but want their recitation to meet Ijazah standard. Adults who want a verified Sanad in Quran recitation. Advanced learners who want to refine specific Tajweed rules with a Qari who has Ijazah in multiple Qiraat.
What You Will Learn — Tajweed Curriculum
Every IqraExpert Tajweed course covers all classical Tajweed rules in a structured, sequenced curriculum. Each module is taught with live application — your Qari listens to your recitation of real Quranic Ayat for that rule, corrects you, and only moves forward when the rule is internalised. This is not theory. It is recitation, corrected.

01
Makharij al-Huruf — The 17 Articulation Points
The five major regions of articulation in the mouth and throat — al-Jawf, al-Halq, al-Lisan, al-Shafatan, al-Khayshum — and the precise placement of each of the 28 Arabic letters. The foundation of correct recitation.
-
02
Sifaat al-Huruf — Letter Characteristics
The 12 essential characteristics every letter carries — Hams & Jahr, Shiddah, Tawassut & Rikhawah, Isti’la & Istifal, Itbaq & Infitah — and the contextual qualities of Qalqalah, Safir, Leen, and Tafkheem & Tarqeeq.
-

Noon Sakinah & Tanween — The 4 Rules
Idhhar (clear pronunciation), Idgham (merging — with and without Ghunnah), Iqlab (transformation to Meem), and Ikhfa (concealment). Memorising the 15 Ikhfa letters and applying each rule across the Quran.
-
04
Meem Sakinah — The 3 Rules
Ikhfa Shafawi (concealment with the lips), Idgham Shafawi (merging Meem with Meem), and Idhhar Shafawi (clear pronunciation). Including correct Ghunnah duration and lip closure.

Madd — The 6 Types of Elongation
Madd Tabee’i (natural, 2 counts), Madd Muttasil (4–5 counts), Madd Munfasil, Madd Lazim (6 counts — obligatory), Madd Aridh, and Madd Leen. Each with precise Harakah counts and live timing practice.

06
Qalqalah — The Echo Rule
The five Qalqalah letters (ق ط ب ج د — remembered as Qutb Jad) and their three levels: Qalqalah Sughra (mid-word), Kubra (end of word with stop), and Akbar (with Shaddah). The rule that gives Quran recitation its distinctive bounce.
-
07
Lam — Tafkheem & Tarqeeq Rules
When the Lam in the name of Allah (لله) is recited heavy (Tafkheem) and when it is recited light (Tarqeeq) — based on the preceding Harakah. Plus general Lam rules in other contexts.
-
08
Raa — Heavy & Light Pronunciation
The complete rules for when Raa is pronounced heavy, light, or with permitted choice — based on Harakah, surrounding letters, and stop position. One of the most commonly mispronounced letters, mastered through practice.

09
Waqf & Ibtida — Stopping & Starting
The signs of Waqf in the Mushaf (مـ ج صلے قلے ط), the categories of stopping (Tam, Kaafi, Hasan, Qabeeh), and the rules of Ibtida (where to start after a stop). Understanding meaning so the recitation never breaks the sense of the Ayah.
-
10
Application — Tilawah of the Whole Quran
The final stage — applying every rule learned to live recitation of the Quran, Juz by Juz. Your Qari listens to extended Tilawah, identifies any remaining errors, and works with you until your recitation flows naturally with all Tajweed observed.
How IqraExpert Teaches Tajweed Online
Live Pronunciation Correction
Your Qari listens to every letter you recite — in real time, every session. When a Makhraj is off or a Madd count is wrong, you hear about it that second. Tajweed cannot be self-taught from a video. It requires a trained ear.
One Rule at a Time
We teach the rule, demonstrate it, give you the Quranic examples, listen to you apply it, and only move on when it is internalised. No artificial deadlines. No skipping ahead. No checking boxes — just real mastery, rule by rule.
Listen — Imitate — Apply
The classical Madrasa method, taught online. The Qari recites the rule. You repeat. The Qari corrects. You apply it to a Quranic verse. The Qari listens again. This loop is the only way Tajweed has ever been transmitted — from the Prophet ﷺ to today.
Real Quran, Real Verses
Every rule is practised on actual Quranic Ayat — not invented examples. You see the rule in the Mushaf, recite it from the Mushaf, and apply it to the Surahs you already know. Tajweed becomes part of your Tilawah, not a separate subject.
