Buruj Academy’s Tajweed course for beginners teaches English-speaking students the correct pronunciation rules for Quranic recitation through sound-first Tajweed methodology. Buruj Academy’s beginner students learn Makharij, Sifaat, and foundational Tajweed application before advancing to complex Tajweed rules, building muscle memory through listening and repetition rather than rushing into theory.
Most beginner Tajweed courses overload the beginners who learn Tajweed with Arabic terminology in week one. Buruj Academy’s online Tajweed classes for beginners delay Tajweed rule memorization until beginners can hear the difference between similar sounds like ح and ه, or ص and س, or ض and ظ. Buruj Academy’s approach prevents the confusion that stops most English-speaking beginners from learning Tajweed within their first month.
Transform from a complete beginner to a confident Quran reader
Buruj Academy’s beginner Tajweed course trains students to recite Quranic Arabic with proper articulation points, vowel lengths, and pronunciation characteristics. Buruj Academy’s Tajweed lessons for beginners cover Noorani Qaida mastery, the seventeen Makharij, basic Sifaat, Noon Sakinah rules, Madd types, Qalqalah application, and more. Buruj Academy’s students progress from individual letter sounds to full Surah recitation with Tajweed compliance.
Beginners learning Tajweed at Buruj Academy spend the first few weeks developing auditory recognition of Quranic letters and oral muscle control. For example, most English-speaking students cannot initially distinguish between emphatic and non-emphatic Arabic letters in the Quran because English contains no equivalent sounds. Buruj Academy’s Azhari instructors isolate these sounds through repetitive listening drills before introducing Arabic rule names.
To learn Tajweed for beginners at Buruj Academy is to build Quranic recitation proficiency through gradual skill layering. Buruj Academy's students develop accurate Makharij, recognize Sifaat in context, and apply foundational Tajweed rules to short Surahs before advancing to longer passages.
Buruj Academy’s students learn the seventeen articulation points where Arabic letters originate, from the throat to the lips. Buruj Academy’s curriculum introduces throat letters first (ء ه ع ح غ خ), then tongue positions, then labial sounds. Each Makhraj receives isolated practice through listening exercises, mirror work, and instructor feedback before combining sounds into words.
Beginners learning Tajweed at Buruj Academy develop the ability to hear and produce the characteristics that differentiate letters sharing the same Makhraj. Buruj Academy’s instructors focus on heavy versus light letters, prolonged versus crisp sounds, and echoing versus non-echoing articulations. Students practice minimal pairs (ت versus ط, د versus ض) until the distinction becomes automatic rather than mentally processed.
Students learn Idgham, Iqlab, Ikhfa, and Izhar through color-coded Quran pages and repetitive recitation. Buruj Academy’s beginner Tajweed course teaches recognition first—students identify where rules occur before learning Arabic terminology. Instructors use English approximations (“the hidden N sound”) before introducing terms like Ikhfa, reducing cognitive load for adult beginners.
Beginners learn to extend vowels correctly—two counts for natural Madd, four to six counts for required Madd. Buruj Academy’s curriculum addresses the most common beginner mistake: holding all long vowels for the same duration. Students practice with a metronome, developing internal timing for Madd Wajib Muttasil, Madd Munfasil, and Madd Lazim before moving to unrestricted recitation.

Buruj Academy's online Tajweed classes for beginners offer one-on-one sessions with certified Quran teachers trained in adult learning methodologies.
Students completing Buruj Academy's beginner Tajweed course recite short Surahs with correct Makharij, apply foundational Tajweed rules during Salah, and self-correct common pronunciation errors. These outcomes develop gradually over three to five months of consistent practice.
Students apply learned Tajweed rules to Salah recitation—pronouncing Izhar in "أَنْعَمْتَ," maintaining correct Madd length in "الرَّحِيمِ," and articulating the heavy ص in "الصِّرَاطَ." Buruj Academy's Azhari tutors prioritize easy Surahs first, ensuring beginners improve their worship quality before expanding to longer passages. This provides immediate spiritual benefit rather than delaying practical application.
Students recognize when to use emphatic pronunciation for letters like ص، ض، ط، and ظ versus their lighter counterparts. They identify Tafkheem and Tarqeeq contexts without conscious rule recall. Buruj Academy's Tajweed curriculum for beginners trains this distinction through listening drills and minimal pair exercises. Most English-speaking beginners cannot hear the difference initially—the academy's instructors dedicate four to six sessions specifically to auditory development before expecting production.
Students produce the echoing sound required when Qalqalah letters (ق ط ب ج د) appear with sukoon. They differentiate between stronger Qalqalah at verse endings versus softer Qalqalah mid-verse. Buruj Academy's beginner Tajweed course teaches Qalqalah through physical awareness—students learn the slight throat closure that creates the echo. Instructors avoid overly forceful demonstrations that lead beginners to exaggerate the sound unnaturally.
Students complete Noorani Qaida while applying learned Tajweed principles—proper vowel lengths, correct letter articulation, and smooth word connection. They transition from isolated letter reading to fluid sentence recitation. Buruj Academy's Azhari tutors use Noorani Qaida as the training ground for Makharij development. Rather than rushing through the text, students repeat exercises until articulation becomes effortless, preventing the formation of incorrect muscle memory.
Students develop internal awareness of errors before instructor correction. They pause when uncertain about Makharij or rule application rather than reciting incorrectly with confidence. Buruj Academy's online Tajweed classes for beginners build this self-monitoring skill explicitly. Instructors teach students what incorrect pronunciation feels like in their mouth and throat, creating a feedback loop that functions during independent practice.
