Tajweed ﺗ is an Arabic word meaning correct pronunciation during recitation. It is a set of rules which dictate how the Qur'an should be read.

It is meant to replicate the way the prophet Mohammad (saws) recited the Quran. Learning tajweed means learning how to pronounce the letters in the words correctly, which covers matters like when a consonant is silent or not and how long a vowel is kept.
