Honoring the Qur’an: The Importance of Tajweed and Learning with a Qualified Teacher

Honoring the Qur’an: The Importance of Tajweed and Learning with a Qualified Teacher

Reading the Qur’an with proper tajweed means pronouncing each letter and word the way it was revealed, just like the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recited it. It’s not about sounding perfect—it’s about showing love and respect for the words of Allah. Tajweed helps us avoid mistakes that could change the meaning and allows us to recite clearly and beautifully.

That’s why it’s so important to learn with a qualified teacher—someone who can guide us, correct our mistakes, and pass on the way the Qur’an has been taught for generations. 

You can’t learn proper tajweed just by reading a book or watching videos—just like you can’t learn to swim without getting in the water. The Qur’an is a trust, and learning it properly is part of honoring that trust.

“The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”— Sahih al-Bukhari
