Question
(29 Jamadaa I 1426/July 6, 2005)
Assalamu'alaykum,
Which recitation is it, when the qaari, in soorah an nasr, in the last
sentence, reads innahoo kaana tawwa a ba (with hamzah in the middle)
instead of "innahoo kaana tawwaabaa (with mad asli)?
In this link: http://quran.islamway.com/saad/110.mp3
a sheikh reads in such a way.
JazakAllahu
khairan.

Assalamu
alaykum,
I am unsure of how to pronounce the hamza in certain situations. As an English
speaker, it is easy for me to pronounce this letter at the beginning of a word
but I am unsure of its sound when it is saakinah. The main problem is that the
tajweed books never seem to classify its sifaat or characteristics. Mu'min is
an example of a word in question. I can pronounce the hamza in this word two
different ways. The way I assume to be correct is to not let any air escape
after pronouncing the hamzah and to go directly to the meem. The other
possibility is to let air escape in between the hamza and the meem as it does
in the letters taa' and kaaf. When one stops on a word with hamza as the last
letter such as in the word wuDoo', how long is the hamza held? I find it hard
not to let a puff of air release after pronouncing it as if I where
pronouncing a final taa'. Another question about a different issue regards the
pronunciation of 'ayn and 7aa'. I was wondering if the tongue changes position
at all during the pronunciation of these letters even though the articulation
is in the middle of the throat. When I pronounce these two letters, my tongue
appears to tense slightly and sometimes retract a bit from all the exertion in
my throat.
I greatly appreciate any tips on the pronunciation of these letters.
Wa salaam

Assalaamu

Being new to Arabic and without a teacher, one of the tajweed rules that has
caused me some confusion is the rule of deviation. I am relatively confident
in my pronunciation of Laam but I have read a lot of conflicting information
on the articulation of Raa'. Since this letter has the undesirable sifaat of
repetition, is the tongue placed in a position close to that used to create a
rolled "r" heard in many Arabic dialects or is it entirely
different. On your excellent page of tajweed lessons, it states that the left
and right sides of the very tip of the tongue are used to produce Raa'. Is
there actually a visible passage running down the tip of the tongue or is the
air supposed to escape to either side of the tip. In my practice, I can stop
the repetition by letting the air escape to either side of the tip similar to
the American (L), but I have not been able to make a opening in the center of
the tip appear. In recordings of reciters that I have listened to, the raa'
does indeed sound similar to an curled (L). Another question I have is whether
or not the rule of deviation is applied to the laam and Raa' when saakin.
Wa salaam.

This site
mashaAllah is quite beneficial alhumdulillah jazakallahu khayran, but I would
like to advise you on one thing if I may. In searching for a certain
question and answer, you should try and put a "search" box in order
to do exactly that. For I tried to find this question I know is there
and I could not and it is way tooooooooo lengthy to search through every

Assalamu
Aleikum wa rahmatu lilahi wa barakatuh
A) I have notice that in the first verse of surah 63 (al munafiqun) they are
two ways the nouns munafiqin is written: the first is : MUNAFIQUN
("idha djaa'akal munafiquna...") and the second is MUNAFIQIN
("...wallahu yashadu innal munafiqina...") My question is:
a) What is the difference between "munafiqun" and "munafiqin"
b) Would it have been correct to only write either nouns without choosing the
other? For example write: "Munafiqun" all throughout the surah or
vice versa?
B) Secondly, the prophet Muhammed (pbuh) used to stop at the end of an ayah
when reading the Quran. Did he also used to join two ayah together (or joining
two words) when reading?Is it sunnah or farda to join ayah while
reading?
May Allah help you inshallah

Salam,
I want to be able to read the Quran with proper tajweed, I know a little bit
of the basics. I see that it is important to have a teacher, I have
found a teacher but she says she can start teaching me after 2months. My
question to you is 'what can I do in the meantime? Would u advise me to learn
all the rules and to be familiar with them, if so how shall I exactly do this?
I have exams at the moment and so how shall I manage with time? I
don’t want to wait till after I finish my exams I as I feel the sooner I
start the better and that if I wait around I will lose the motivation and
passion I have to learn tajweed.
Jazakallu khair for your time and effort

Assalamou alaikum,
I'm an English convert. I'm presently taking tajweed lessons in a group, do
you think that it's enough to do it in a big group (which is free) or do you
think that to
really perfect one's recitation one needs to do individual lessons (which are
quite expensive here in England)?
I've been learning Qu'ran by imitating the recitor Mishary Rashid al-Efasy, as
I love his way of reciting, but I've been advised that I should learn it off
Mahmood al-Hosary as he's the best and clearest
recitor to learn from. What do you think?
My last question: I was looking through the questions and answers on your site
and I was shocked to read that there's difference of opinion on the number of
ayat/verses in the Qu'ran. How can this be? I thought that there was only 1
version of the Qu'ran, it's not like the bible which has been changed over
time so therefore there are many different versions. Surely the Qu'ran is the
preserved and unadulterated word of Allah which we're all sure about, if this
is the case how can there be ikhtilaf on the number of verses? This upsets and
worries me!!!
Barak Allahu fik for all your efforts to spread the Haqq.
Hope to hear from you very soon.

Assalamu
Alaikum,
I have begun to
study Tajweed through a teacher. He teaches many rules about it. I have one
basic question regarding Tajweed. Is there any evidence that the Tajweed that
is been taught is same as that of what Prophet (pbuh) approved or taught?. I
read your article "Why should we read the Qur’an with tajweed?"
and still I couldn't get answer to my question. I understand that there are
only very few hadith tracing back to Prophet (pbuh) about how he used to
recite the Quran. My question is, can we be sure that the complete rules of
Tajweed as it is laid down today is as the same as Prophet (pbuh) approved or
taught?
Could you be
kind enough to answer my question?.
May Allah guide
us. Thanks.
