Tajweed ”تجويد” is derived from “Jawada” which means to beautify and enhance anything. and to beautify your Quran reading, you will learn, and practice the right pronunciation of the Arabic language letters and apply the tajweed rules on every word you read in Quran.
The tajweed rules are learned from our prophet Mohammed Quran’s reading, and his teachings to his companions. and the rules got documented due to the entry of a lot of non arab nationalities to Islam. So Tajweed is made for you as a non-Arab speaker to read the Quran gracefully with ease.
Allah in his holy book said:
﴿ وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ ﴾ [ القمر: 32]
The translation: And indeed, We have made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?
So you can be confident that reading Quran with Tajweed for non-Arab speakers is possible, and it’s required, as well.
