Question
Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatu
Allah.
Jazakumu Allahu khair
for "The Qur'an in Ramadhan" download.
I have a question concerning
right pronunciation : for example, in surah Al FatiHah the word
"
":
In the case of
when it has a shadda would it be right to say that one must pronounce the
first which
is saakinah with complete running of sound given to a saakina letter that
has the characteristic of "rikhawa" while giving it the quality of "Istitaala"
(i.e. the vibration that runs from the back of the tongue at the molars all
the way to the tip of the tongue) and then put pressure at the articulation
point once again for the second
this time with a fatHa? There seems to be a wave going thru and back again
when doing this, is this right?
May Allah reward you! And a
blessed Ramadhan to you!
Answer
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa
barakatkuh.
Wa iyyakum wa-l-muslimeen.
You are correct, that the letter
has the
characteristic of 
and the timing of
will be present in the first
of the two
(since there is a shaddah, there are two of the letter
) when
pronouncing this word . The letter also
has the characteristic of 
, or raising
of the back of the tongue up while focusing the sound up to the roof of the
mouth, making the sound of tafkheem. The letter
also has
the characteristic of 
, which is
unique to the letter .
The characteristic of not
, is the characteristic that causes a
"wave" of pressure on the tongue from the back forward, this wave is a
mechanical wave and happens without leaving the articulation point of the
,
per se. Yes, the whole tongue has this wave, but the two parts of the
articulation point of the remain
collided (one or both sides of the tongue and the upper molar area) while this
happens. We then separate the two parts of articulation with strength, for
the fat-Hah, but again, we didn't leave the articulation point of the
, so we
just push the two articulation parts of the articulation point of the
away from
each other, with strength in the separation.
Insha' Allah this is of assistance to you.
May Allah reward you and make easy for you the perfection of tajweed.
Ramadhan Mubarak to you too!
