Ÿ Problems in Makharij (pronuncia on) (for example, reci ng ‫ ﻋﻠﻴﻢ‬as ‫)أﻟﻴﻢ‬.
Ÿ Problems in Sifaat (A ributes) (for example, reci ng the word ‫ ﷲ‬with thin laam instead of thick).
Ÿ َ َ َ as ‫)ﺧﻠﻘﻦ‬.

Ÿ Improper learning
Ÿ Mother tongue effects carried into Arabic (Ex: Urdu speakers reci ng like Urdu)
Ÿ No exposure to Tajweed
Objec ves of this Tajweed Course:
Ÿ To help you to recite the Qur’an correctly (i.e., with Tajweed)
Ÿ To teach you the main rules rules of Tajweed and the logic behind these rules.
Ÿ To prac ce these rules on frequently occurring words (a total of 350 words from all the lessons that occur 40,000
