Tajwīd or the science of tajwīd in Islam is a science by which one learns the pronunciation of Qur’anic words as pronounced by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Technically, it means giving every letter its right in reciting the Qur'an. In Arabic, the term tajwīd is derived from the verb جود ( jawada), from the triliteral root ج-و-د ( j-w-d), meaning enhancement or to make something excellent. In the context of the recitation of the Quran, tajwīd ( Arabic: تجويد tajwīd, IPA:, ' 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). Muṣḥaf al-tajwīd, an edition of the Qur'an printed with colored letters to facilitate tajweed.
