Reading the Holy Qur’an with tajweed helps make our recitation not only beautiful but also more accurate. I have had the opportunity to learn tajweed from an expert.
I would love to share what I know as well as hear from others.
What are the heavy letters in Arabic?
Re: Rules of Tajweed
do u mean qalqala?
Re: Rules of Tajweed
no, qalqala is jerking certain letters: qaf, taw, ba, jeem and dal.
For example, ahad. You bounce or jerk the dal by saying ahad*da.*
There are 7 heavy letters they are heavy because they are pronounced with force: Kha, swad, dwad, ain, taw, qaf and zaw.
Re: Rules of Tajweed
What is the difference in the two sounds underlined and why?
bismill*ah* and Rasoolull*ah*
Re: Rules of Tajweed
The bismillah is ready softly because the alif laam is preceeded by a kasra (zeyr). The Rasoolullah is read heavy because the alif laam is preceeded by a dammah (pesh) and would be the same if were a fatha (zabar).
Correct?

Re: Rules of Tajweed
Next.
What are the huroof e halaqi?
Re: Rules of Tajweed

Re: Rules of Tajweed
Riya, you're very close!
hamza, ha (small one)
ain, Ha (big one)
ghain, kha
Re: Rules of Tajweed
What is the significance of the little hovering meem in some renditions of the Qur'an?
Hence or otherwise explain why there is a little meem on the end of Surah Ikhlas
Re: Rules of Tajweed
OK. There are 2 different types of meems used in the Qur'an that aren't regular meems. One is usually seen with a tail and one without.
The one without the tail denotes a compulsary stop mark.
The other one suggests the rule of Iqlaab, which is that when the tanween noon saakin is followed by ba, the noon changes to a meem sound.
Now the meem at the end of Surah Ikhlas has a long meem, but the rules of Iqlab don't seem to apply here as the next surah also doesn't start with a ba.
Psyah bhai, I need your help here!

Peace sister Niksik
Full marks on the tajweed rules ... the reason why the tail meem on the end of Surah Ikhlas is there is because when a reciter should continue the recitation without stopping he or she will continue on to the next Surah, but because each Surah is separated by the basmillah the next letter is undoubtedly a ba ... that is why!
Re: Rules of Tajweed
Oh my God, I totally forgot about the Bismillah!
Alright, more questions please!
Re: Rules of Tajweed
^ Which rare but important tajweed rule is found in ayat 47 of Surah Yasin? Explain its function.
Re: Rules of Tajweed
Hmmm, first let me go wudhu to pick up my Qur'an. I don't know it by heart.
Be right back!
Re: Rules of Tajweed
wa idhaa qiyla lahum...
The rule here is Izhar. Izhar means to express. When a noon saakin or tanween comes before a huroof e halaqi, you express the noon sound.
Is that the rule you were expecting me to point out? I know there are others in this ayah as well.
Brother Psyah, you seem to be an expert here. Can you please reveal your experience to us please?
Re: Rules of Tajweed
^ Peace sister
The izhar rule is quite common ... find another in this ayah which is relatively rare and explain why it is necessary.
Re: Rules of Tajweed
OK 
Let me look over.
Re: Rules of Tajweed
OK, can you tell me? I only see Izhars and Ikhfas!
7 Tajweed Rules
Assalam-U-Alikum!!!
I knw few Tajweed rules which i hav learnd myself.
1=Ikhfa
it will be pronounced with a light nasal sound.
2=Gunnah
The sound emanantes from the nose and is observed on the NooN & MeeM
3=Ikhfa Meem Sakin
when the lettr Ba appears aftr a Meem it will be Pronunced with a light sound in the nose.
4=Idgham
If aftr a NooN //(Fatah)-----------------------"(Dama) there appear anyof
-----------------------------//(Kasra)
these letters (Wao,Meem,Noon,Ya) it will become assimilated into the lettr and will be read with Ghunna
5=Iqlab
If after a Noon or //(Fatah)-----------------------"(Dama) the lettr Ba
----------------------------------//(kasra)
appears then the Noon saakin or Tanween will be incorporated into the letter Meem and will be recited with Ghunna.
6=Qalqala
the five letters of Qalqala are (daal,Jeem,Ba,Tua,Qaaf) when any of these letters in a word has a sukoon on it or if deciding on pausing on any of these letters which appear at the end of a sentence it will appear to have an echoing or jerking sound.
7=Idghaam Meem saakin
if aftr a Meem there appear another Meem the two meems will become incorporated and will be read with Ghunna.
