Question
ASSALAMU ALEYKUM:
Answer Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh, Jazakum Allahu khairan for the comments, we ask Allah to give us purity in intention. The two letters and are the only letters of that also have; and when either of these two letters is saakin, there is another phenomenon unseen in any other letters, that is that the two siffaat (characteristics) are not applied simultaneously, but instead the characteristic of is applied, closing off the complete articulation point with complete imprisonment of the sound, and a very brief micro-second later, the release of air for the characteristic of is done. This release of air, is not something heard from a distance, but only from a close position to the reader, and would be less noticeable when pronouncing the saakin letter and immediately proceeding to another aayah. It is therefore not uncommon at all, that it would not be picked up on a recording of recitation by any reader. Surely the reciter released the air, but the microphone just didn't pick it up. If you try to read these words with no release whatsoever of air after closing the articulation point completely off, you will find it very difficult, if not impossible. Wa iyyakum wa-l-muslimeen. |
