02

Follow the transliteration

Use the transliterated text as a reading aid while learning the correct pronunciation.

The colour coding helps draw attention to Tajweed features throughout the text.

Learn with correct recitation

For pronunciation, pair transliteration with listening to a reliable Quran recitation and learning from a qualified teacher where possible.

A visual reading aid

Why colour coded Tajweed?

Colour cues make it easier to notice different recitation features while reading. They are intended as a learning aid, not a replacement for hearing correct pronunciation and studying Tajweed with a knowledgeable teacher.

Transliteration can also help readers who are still developing their Arabic reading skills, but learning to read the Quran in Arabic remains the goal.
