Question
What is the definition of Ghunnah and Ikhfah. What is the difference between them with examples.

As you can see by the definition of the ikhfa', the ghunnah accompanies it, but is not part of the letter being pronounced between an and . In fact, the ghunnah sound (nasalization) accompanies every and regardless whether the rule is ikhfa' or otherwise and regardless whether the and are saakinah or voweled. So when you have the ikhfa' rule -which only occurs with the and saakinah when followed by specific letters- we also have a ghunnah accompanying it, meaning a nasalization from the nose. The ghunnah though can be heard with other rules of the and saakinah. The ghunnah is an inherent characteristic of both the and .
