The Makhaarij of the Letters
The correct position of the organs of speech in order to produce a letter so that it can be differentiated from others. This is equally so whether the letter is a consonant or a vowel.

Being able to recite the letters correctly is the foundation of tajweed, and this is achieved by knowing where the sound originates. This can then help in practicing the pronunciation of the letters correctly.

The diagram below gives a snapshot of where each letter originates :

No.	Places	Total Makharaj
1	The throat - Al Halq - الحلق	3
2	The tongue - Al Lisaan - اللِّسَان	10
3	The lips - Ash-shafatain  - الشَّفتان	2
4	The nasal cavity - Al Khayshoom - الخَيشُون	1
5	The oral cavity - Al Jawf - اَلجَوْف	1
