What This 17 Makhraz Course Covers

Accurate Quran recitation depends heavily on knowing where each Arabic letter is produced in the mouth and throat, yet this detail is often overlooked in general reading lessons. This 17 Makhraz course focuses entirely on Makhraz al-Huroof, the seventeen articulation points that shape correct Arabic pronunciation. Students work through each point individually, from the throat letters to those produced at the lips, practicing sound production under close guidance. Because sessions are delivered one-to-one, the tutor can listen carefully and correct subtle pronunciation errors that are easy to miss in group settings. This course is especially useful for students who already read Arabic but want to refine their pronunciation before advancing into deeper Tajweed or Hifz studies.

Course Features

All 17 Articulation Points

The course covers all seventeen Makhraz systematically, from the throat to the lips, ensuring students understand exactly where and how each Arabic letter is correctly produced.

Live Pronunciation Correction

One-to-one sessions allow the tutor to hear each sound closely and correct subtle errors immediately, something difficult to achieve in larger group classes.

Letter Grouping by Origin

Letters are grouped according to their articulation point, helping students recognize patterns between similar sounds rather than memorizing each letter in isolation.

Foundation for Advanced Tajweed

Mastering the Makhraz prepares students for more advanced Tajweed rules later, since accurate articulation is the base upon which correct recitation is built.

Inside the 17 Makhraz Course

01

Throat Articulation Points

Tongue-Based Articulation Points

This stage covers the largest group of letters, those produced using different parts of the tongue, with focused practice on each distinct position.

03

Lip-Based Articulation Points

Learners study the letters produced at the lips, refining sounds that are easy to confuse without close attention to correct mouth shape.

04

Nasal Sound Practice

Students explore the nasal sound (ghunnah) associated with certain letters, learning how it affects pronunciation and recitation accuracy within Quranic verses.

What Our Students Say

My daughter could read Arabic but her pronunciation was off in a few spots. This course pinpointed exactly which sounds needed work and fixed them one by one.
Sara J.

United Kingdom

I always mixed up a few similar-sounding letters. The tutor explained the articulation points clearly and gave me practice until I could hear the difference myself.
Khalid R.

United States

The one-to-one format was key here. My son needed repeated correction on certain throat letters, and the tutor was patient through every session.
Layla B.

Canada

I took this course before starting Hifz, and it made a real difference. My recitation felt more accurate once I understood where each sound was produced.
