FAQ

Are apps enough for Tajweed?

They help with awareness and repetition. Final correction requires a qualified teacher to catch subtle timing and articulation.

Which reciter speed is best for practice?

Start slow (0.7-0.85×) with clear reciters. Use A‑B loops for syllable‑level imitation, then return to natural pace.

Can I memorize with an app alone?

Yes for initial memorization, but schedule periodic live checks to prevent fossilized mistakes.
