The Makhaarij of Letters ﳐﺎرج اﳊﺮوف
Reciting the Holy Quran with Tajweed means to pronounce
every letter with its articulative qualities such as the correct
prolongation, merging, conversion, distinctness and pauses.
Reciting the Quran with Tajweed allows the reciter to
emphasize the accent, phonetics, rhythm and temper of the
Quranic recitation.
The place where sound of a letter emanates is called
Makhraj.

forming any Harkat, that is, Zabar (fathah), Zer (Kasrah),
Pesh (Dummah), and Shaddah (Tashdeed).
This quality is found in five letters.
