Question Assalamou alaikoum. I just had one
question….for the noon sakinah and tanween ikhfaa rule, does the “noon”
sound come out or there should be only ghunnah? In the explanation it says
that the tongue should be close to the articulation point of the next letter,
but sometimes even when doing that, some “noon” sound comes out (and not
just ghunnah), would that be wrong? Thanks a lot
for your help. Answer Wa alaikum
assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh, Jazakum Allahu
khairan for you kind words and we pray that you continue to learn and benefit
from this site. The definition
of al-ikhfa’ is: The pronunciation of a non-voweled letter stripped of
any shaddah, characterized somewhere between an
and
an
with
a ghunnah remaining on the first letter, in this case the
saakinah
and the tanween. The letter
then
should not be heard clearly, nor should it not be heard at all, instead the
sound should be in between. If the
tongue does not touch anything, the
will
not be heard clearly, but there will be a trace of the
in
the sound. A common
mistake made by some students of the Qur’an when trying to hide the
is
touching the tongue up to the articulation point of the
while
holding the ghunnah sound, or touching the articulation point of the next
letter while making the ghunnah, or touching the teeth.
Some others make the mistake of letter the posterior portion of the
tongue touch the roof of the mouth during the ikhfa’, and this mistake also
leads to the sound of a
. In
these cases, a
is
heard quite clearly, and this is not correct. The following
is an example of the correct sounding ikhfa’.
