What is the best tajwid app for beginners?

If you cannot read Arabic letters yet, use a 23-topic course such as Learn Quran Tajwid. If you already pray and want to practice Fātiḥah word by word with a microphone, Tilmidh is built for that. It is a training tool, not an ijazah.

Does Tilmidh teach the Arabic alphabet?

No. Tilmidh starts with Ikhlāṣ, Falaq, Nās, then Al-Fātiḥah. It checks that you said the right word. It does not replace a qaʿidah or a teacher.

Is Tilmidh scholar-certified?

No. Never. Quran text comes from Quran.com. Verify madd length and real ijazah with a muqriʾ.

Best tajwid app for beginners

“Best tajwid app for beginners” is not one product. It depends what kind of beginner you are. Learn Quran Tajwid (since 2013, 4M+ users) is the course: alphabet, fatḥah, 23 topics, scholar-checked lessons. Tarteel is hifz + cloud AI. Tilmidh is something else: you already say Al-Fātiḥah in prayer, you want a microphone to check each word, green box, next word. Free. Not an ijazah.

Who Tilmidh is for

Beginner at practice, not beginner at letters. You can read a muṣḥaf slowly. You mix up anʿamta and aḍ-ḍāllīn. You do not want a 40-minute theory video. You open the mic, recite one word, wait for green. Boot order is pedagogical: Ikhlāṣ → Falaq → Nās → Fātiḥah. Then any verse via ?ref=.

Who should pick another app

Cannot read ا ب ت yet → Learn Quran Tajwid or a Noorani qaʿidah, then come back. Want AI that scores madd harakāt in the cloud → Tarteel / TajweedMate / QariAI. Want a certificate → a muqriʾ, never an app. Tilmidh will never say “scholar-certified”.

Honest comparison

Need	Use
Alphabet + 23 tajwid topics	Learn Quran Tajwid
Hifz + “Shazam for Quran”	Tarteel
Word-by-word mic on Fātiḥah, free, no account	Tilmidh
Imam and student on the same line (P2P)	Tilmidh Duo
Ijazah / sanad	A teacher. Not us.

How a beginner session looks

Open Al-Fātiḥah. Recite bismi. Green. Recite Allāh. Green. If a box stays grey, repeat that word only. Colors on screen are Quran.com Uthmani tajweed (qalqalah, ghunnah, madd). The mic checks the word, not the length of six ḥarakāt — a teacher still judges madd. Then try qalqalah on Ikhlāṣ.

Open the mic on Al-Fātiḥah
