The best among you is he who learns the Quran and teaches to others (Sahih Bukhari)
To read Holy Quran with correct accent and Tajweed, it’s necessary to learn to read the Noorani Qaida with correct accent and Tajweed. Noorani Qaidah contains almost all the pronunciation rules of reciting the Holy Qur'an.
Noorani Qaidah is the application for kids and elders to understand how to read holy Quraan correctly. Start learning Koran from the basics with Noorani Qaida.

Reciting the Kuran with Tajwid means to pronounce every letter with all its articulative qualities such as proper prolongation, pause, nasalization, distinctiveness and phonetics along with proper rhythm and emphasis where necessary. The most important part of Tajweed is learning about correct position of the organs of speech and the manner of articulation.

The meaning of the verse / ayah / ayat can be changed if the letters are not pronounced correctly. Thus it is important to recite every letter of the Qur'an properly with all of its rules and properties.

This application aims to assist in understanding those ahkaam / rules and provide a streamlined way of remembering them. With the frequent use of the Tajweed application, one will not only learn the ahkaam and commit them to memory, but will eventually start reciting Koran with the correct application of those ahkaam as well.

In the context of the recitation of the Quran, tajwīd (Arabic: تَجْوِيدْ‎ tajwīd, IPA: [tædʒˈwiːd], 'elocution') is a set of rules for the correct pronunciation of the letters with all their qualities and applying the various traditional methods of recitation (Qira'at). In Arabic, the term tajwīd / tajwid is derived from the triliteral root, meaning enhancement or to make something excellent. Technically, it means giving every letter its right in reciting the Qur'an.

The history of tajwid is tied to the history of qira'at / qiraat / qirat as each reciter had their own set of tajweed rules, with much overlap between them.

The central Quranic verse about tajwid is verse 73:4: "...and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation." The word tartīl Arabic: تَرْتِيْل‎, as used in this verse, is often also used in hadith (hadees / hadis / hades) in conjunction with its command. It means to articulate slowly, carefully, and precisely.

Abu Dawud's (Daud / Dawood / Dawod) hadith collection has a chapter heading titled "Recommendation of [reciting with] tartīl in the Qur'an (Mushaf)." It begins with the narration: "The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him said: One who was devoted to the Qur'an will be told to recite, ascend and recite carefully (Arabic: رَتِّلْ‎) as he recited carefully when he was in the world, for he will reach his abode when he comes to the last verse he recites (Sunan Abi Dawud 1464)." This narration describes the importance of the manner of recitation and its positive effects in the afterlife. The next narration describes the importance of prolongation (Arabic: مَدًّا‎): "Qatadah said: I asked Anas about the recitation of the Qur'an by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: He used to express all the long accents clearly (Arabic: كَانَ يَمُدُّ مَدًّا‎) (Sunan Abi Dawud 1465)." This narration also shows that even the companions of the prophet used some terms which are still used today in tajwīd rules.

The Arabic alphabet has 28 basic letters, plus hamzah (ء).

ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن و ہ ي‎

The Arabic definite article is ال al- (i.e. the letter alif followed by lām). The lām in al- is pronounced if the letter after it is "qamarīyah" ("lunar"), but if the letter after it is "shamsīyah" ("solar"), the lām after it becomes part of the following letter (is assimilated). "Solar" and "lunar" became descriptions for these instances as the words for "the moon" and "the sun" (al-qamar and ash-shams, respectively) are examples of this rule.

Lunar letters: ا ب ج ح خ ع غ ف ق ك م هـ و ي‎

Solar letters: ت ث د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ل ن
