Muslims respect the Holy Quran because it is the words said directly by Allah to our beloved Mohammed (PBUH). You will need to work on the pronunciation of letters by getting a description of the articulation points and practice placing your tongue, lips, or finding the place in your throat where the letter is articulated from, and compare it to the letter when recited by the Sheikh.The “ Quran Tajweed rules” is one of the most important Islamic sciences. In these sets, the reciter reads a phrase, and then there is a blank space on the tape, allowing the student to repeat what the reciter has just read. There are sets available on the Internet and in Islamic stores that are called "mu'alm". You need to work with tapes of good reciters, for example, Sheikh Abdullah Basfar, or Sheikh Mohammed Hosary. Then your task is going to be a little harder, but certainly not impossible. What if there aren't any qualified teachers where I live?

You will need to learn the Arabic letters and vowels too. The first step is finding a qualified Qur'an teacher who will listen to you and point out your mistakes, and help you practice fixing them. I want to learn to recite the Qur'an with proper tajweed, but don't know where to start. Now, over 14 centuries later, colloquial Arabic has changed radically from the classical Arabic with which the Qur'an was revealed, and Arabs have to study tajweed, just in the same way that non-Arabs do. In the days of the Prophet, peace and blessing upon him, there was no need for the study of tajweed because they talked with what is now known as tajweed in other words, it was natural for them. Unfortunately many do not know proper tajweed. Do all Arabs know how to recite the Qur'an with proper tajweed? The rules themselves can be studied independently, but their correct application can only be done by listening to, reciting to, and being corrected by, a qualified teacher of the Qur'an. Tajweed and its application can only be learned with a qualified teacher.
