What is Makhraj?

From the places of mouth and throat where from Arabic letters pronounced is called Makhraj. 29 letters  pronounced from 17 areas of mouth & throat. If pronunciation of one letter sound like another, meaning of that word will change which is called big mistake in Quran reading. 

We know, not all letters has conflict with each others. For example 'Seen', 'Sheen', 'Saud', 'Tha' creates similar pronunciation like 'S' but 'Ba', 'Fa' 'Noon' has no conflict with others, so you don't have to worry about 'Ba' 'Fa' 'Noon', but have to worry about 'Seen' 'Sheen' 'Saud'  'Geem' 'Jaa' 'Ha' 'Round Ha' etc which conflict each others. So here we only discuss and show simple ways to avoid mixing of the conflicting letters.
