Question I
often hear the comment in our tajweed class that the meem and noon at the end
of words is not clear like in the words that end in
or
. For
example in words like
or
.
Could you suggest anything that might help to improve these letters? Answer One
cause for the
and
not
being clear when they are saakinah (not voweled) is the absence of the
characteristic of the partial running of sound.
This characteristic is an intrinsic one of both letters, and so the
sound is run a slight length of time. Another
cause is the student of the Qur’an sometimes does not make collision (
) of the two parts of
articulation of the
saakinah and
saakinah, before going on to
the next letter. This is often
noted in the
saakinah
when followed by a
or
a
.
In
conclusion, two factors are common in the
saakinah
and
saakinah
not being clear at the ends of words; first, the slight running of the sound
that is an intrinsic characteristic of both letters may be missing, and
second, there may be an absence of
or
collision of the two parts of articulation that is necessary when pronouncing
these two letters without a vowel. |
