One chart a weektime it takesTajweed is the set of rules for reciting the Qur'an correctly, the way it was taught by the Prophet ﷺ. Learning the rules one group at a time makes them much easier to remember.
These four charts cover the rules students meet on almost every page: Noon Sakinah and Tanween, Meem Sakinah, the types of Madd, and four more essentials including Ghunnah and Qalqalah. Each rule has its letters, a short explanation and an example word taken from the Qur'an.
The charts work best alongside lessons with a teacher, who can model how each rule sounds.
