Question (30 Rabee' Al-Awwal1427/Apr. 28 2006)

ASSALAMU'ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH

How are you brothers, I wish that ALLAH bestow His blessings on all of you who are responsible for this service. I discovered something from my limited reading that somehow had confused me and I don't have the means to get it clarified myself. I have with me this kitab named Sarihunnas by the renowned
AdhDhaba' and a Tajweed book called GhayatulMurid by 'Atiyah Qabil Nasr.
In the table of the reading of Hafs from Tayyibatunnasyri in Sarihunnas, there included two turuq of AlMu'addil from his Rawdhah. One is through
AlFeel and the other through Zar'an. Both turuq state that mad muttasil's duration is 'tul' (6 harakat). In GhayatulMurid, the Shaykh quoted the matan of Shaykh Ibrahim AsSamnudi about the turuq of Hafs by AlMu'addil. I presume that they are the same as the ones mentioned in Sarihunnas (?). But in this
kitab, the length of mad muttasil is 'tawasut' (4 harakat). My question is why the difference ?

The other one that bothers me (again this is because of my limited knowledge) is about the recitation of Shaykh Mahmood Khaleel AlHusari. I have mith me a CD of his recitation of Hafs. These are a few observations that I discovered :

1. mad munfasil with qasr (2 harakat)
2. mad muttasil is compulsory 5 harakat (written underneath the text)
3. yabsutu and bastah with 'seen'
4. almusaytirun with 'sad'
5. bimusaytir with 'sad'
6. no saktah at the four saktah by Ashshtibi
7. tawasut or mad on the letter 'ayn'
8. kalimah dha'fin in Surah Rum with fathah
9. tafkhim 'ra' in 'firqin'
10. idzhar 'nun' ini Nun and  YaSin

What troubles me is none of the ones stated in Sarihunnas matches this reading. So my question is which turuq is this.

JazakaLLAHI kathira, wassalam.

Question (26 Rabee' Al-Awwal1427/Apr. 24 2006)

Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatulilahi wa barakatuh

I have a question regarding stopping on a word ending with a hamzah.
For example in surat al hashr verse 24 :".... Al Bari u..." . The word has a
hamzah with dhamma at the end. If we would like to stop on that word, do we
stop with a two vowel count such as " Al Barii"?
Would you please tell me the proper way to stop on this word (the Inventor of all things)?

May Allah reward you inshallah

Assalamu 'alaykum

Thank you very much for commencing the new lessons for Warsh. They will be
extremely valuable, inshallah.

I have two brief questions:

1. I would like to make my own tajweed notes in English, based on your lessons. These would be strictly for personal use only and would not be printed / distributed etc. May I have permission to do this?

2. Re rule 5 in Lesson Two on Warsh http://www.abouttajweed.com/warsh_rules_2.htm : two exceptions to the four & six vowel count badl are given. Is it a completely free choice whether one can exclude these two words from the rule? If one chooses to exclude one the words from the rule, must one also exclude the other word?

Question (4 Safar1427/March 4, 2006)

Assalamu alaykum

I'm very happy to have found this wonderful homepage, especially as it exactly follows the manhaj of my Shaykh Ayman Swaid and I wonder if you are one of his pupils. I would appreciate if you wrote a bit on the founders of the homepage, also to assure people about the authenticity and reliability of the provided information- which is mashallah very precise.

I am teaching tajweed since a few years, but there is one basic rule that always confuses me, maybe because there is a difference of pronunciation among the reciters:

I'd like to know the proper way of pronouncing the ikhfa shafawee, such as in "kalbuhum basitun"; and of the iqlab, as in "min ba'd". Is there complete itbaq al-shafatayn (the sound of a full meem) or do we leave a furja between the lips? Please give me a detailed answer  for both rulings and the differences of opinion among the qurra'. Jazakumullahu khayran.

Question (3 Safar1427/March 3, 2006)

ASSALAMOALIEKUM.

Can you gave me some tips how to learn qiraa’t Warsh, and are there any books for beginners for qiraa’t Warsh?  I had a sheik in local mosque who knows all 7 qira’at. He had given me a Qur'an with the recitation of Warsh, but he can not teach because he is sick.  He sad that if I can learn some basics of Warsh and practice with cassettes and cd's then can listen to me and correct me! Can you help me on teaching me some basic rules? JAZAKALLAH, WASSALLAM.

Is it permissible to recite the prayer (the parts that are not Quran) with tajweed? For example "subhaanak Allahumma" with qalqalah of the baa and holding the meem with ghunnah and so on, or is this an innovation?

Can the khutbat ul jumuah be read with tajweed?

Question (7 Muharram 1427/Feb6, 2006)

Assalam u alaikum,

A while ago, I have seen a question and your response on this website regarding a hamzah with a tiny circle (zero), but was unable to locate this. Please, if you would, point me towards this Q&A. I have seen hamzah like this that appeared after a wow which was preceded by a Dhammah letter. During the recent Hajj I met an Arabic speaking person who told me that this hamzah is called Hamzatul Jam’aa. And also, what is the purpose of this hamzah? Is there anything to do with not dropping the wow (long vowel) when stopping here? Hope the question is clear enough. 

As always, thank you for your great help. Jazak Allah.

Wassalam u alaikum.

Question (2 Muharram 1427/Feb.1, 2006)

Bismil-Laahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem.

’Assalaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatul-laahi wa barakaatuh,

My compliments and thanks to you for this great website.  When tanween is followed by ’aliful-wasl (hamzatul-wasl)

A. are there general rules of pronunciation? and

B. what are the general rules of pronunciation?

For example is 9 : 30:

1. ‘uzairun ’ibnu, or

2. ‘uzairunib-nu,

because in mus-hafs printed in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh they use a noon qutnee in those cases, but I only use mus-hafs like the official one, so let’s assume (2) is correct, although maybe both are allowed or none of them, then

C. is it correct to always drop the hamzah of ’aliful-wasl so that the vowel of it is connected with the noon? and

D. is there always a kasrah used, or is the rule the same as for starting on ’aliful-wasl so that there could be used a fat-hah, dammah or kasrah depending on the case, or what are the general rules?

If (2) is correct and we always drop the hamzah and always use a kasrah we would read for example

7 : 158: jamee‘anil-lazee,

7 : 177: mathalanil-qawmu,

24 : 35: misbaahunil-misbaahu,

24 : 35: zujaajatiniz-zujaajatu,

62 : 11: lahwanin-fadh-dhoooo,

75 : 12: yauma’idhinil-mustaqarr, and

75 : 30: yauma’idhinil-masaaq.

Jazaakal-laah.
