Standard Arabic is the modern version of Classical Arabic. It is the official and written language throughout the Arab world.

Colloquial Arabic refers to the spoken language in Tunisia. It was originally a combination of Arabic and the native and regional languages existing in Tunisia before the Arab conquest, such as Berber.

“The Quran” is the holy book of Islam. For Muslims, it is the literal word of God, delivered to the Prophet Mohammed by the angel Gabriel.

The Prophet Mohammed is believed to be the messenger of God and the interpreter of His laws. For this reason Muslims have taken particular care to preserve and memorize his sayings and practices, known in Arabic as Sunnah.

Tajwid, which means beautifying in Arabic, are the rules of pronunciation during the recitation of the Quran. This practice uses rhythmic, tonal, and vocal changes to manipulate the sound of the verses and give them their characteristic musical quality.
