. . . "Tajweed (Arabic: \u062A\u062C\u0648\u064A\u062F\u200E tajw\u012Bd, IPA: [t\u00E6d\u0292\u02C8wi\u02D0d], meaning \"elocution\"), sometimes rendered as tajwid, refers to the rules governing pronunciation during recitation of the Qur'an. The term is derived from the triliteral root j-w-d meaning \"to make well, make better, improve\". Tajweed is a fard (religious duty) when reciting the Qur'an to the best of one's ability."@en .
