The Quran was revealed with Tajweed rules applied to it. In other words, when the angel Jibreel (AS) recited the words of Allah to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) he recited them in a certain way and he showed the Prophet (SAW) the ways in which it was permissible to recite the Quran. The word Tajweed linguistically means 'proficiency' or 'doing something well.' It comes from the same root letters as the word 'Jayyid' in Arabic (meaning 'good'): Jeem, Waw and Daal. When applied to the Quran, it means giving every letter (huruf) of the Quran its rights and dues of characteristics when we recite the Quran, and observing the rules that apply to those letters in different situations. 

Therefore it is upon us to observe those rules so that we recite it in the way it was revealed. If a person does not know the attributes of each letter there is a danger that they will change the meaning of the words in the Quran. Observing the rules of Tajweed in reciting protects them from making mistakes when reciting the Quran. The Science of Tajweed in essence is to make the reciter proficient in reciting the Quran, observing the correct pronunciation of every letter with the rulings and characteristics which apply to each letter, without any exaggeration or deficiency.
