LEARNING TO READ THE YASEEN SURAH WITH TAJWEED


WARNING!

This is just a study guide for those who are at the learning stage. You must learn how to pronounce the Arabic letters from a qualified person!


HOLD YOUR MOUSE ON THE LETTER TO SEE THE PRONOUNCIATION (Don't click.)

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING EXPLANATION FIRST

Please be careful while pronouncing the FATHA, e.g., the "a" sound. For example, the "a" in "wa" should be pronounced like "e" in "went". Likewise, all the "a" in the sura should produce an "a" sound like "e" in "went".
Some Fatha produces an "a" sound like "a" in English word "art". For example, "a" in Arabic word "qawl" is like "a" in art. All "a" in the sura should produce a variation of the "a" sound in "art". Sometimes "a" is little softer like "la" in "la miserables or Labrador." Sometimes it is a little longer, e.g. it is written with two "aa" so it produces a little longer "a" like longer "a" in English word "far." The "a" sound in Arabic words "maa" or "laa" are the "a" sound in "far". Ayn with fatha is represented by "'A". Ayn with sukuun is represented by "'Å".
KASRAs should produce a "i" sound like "i" in "sin". Ayn with kasra is represented by "'I".
DAMMA should produce a "u" sound like "u" in "do" or sometimes little softer like "u" sound in "you". Mostly the "u" sound is like the sound produced by the "oo" in English. The sound produced depends on the letter, e.g., if the letter is a soft letter like b,h,y,s the "u" sound will also be softer. For example, "bu" will be like in "boon" or "su" will be like in "soon". Ayn with damma is represented by "'U".

TAJWEED - ART OF READING THE QUR'AN BEAUTIFULLY

INTRODUCTON

There are a few rules for reading the Qur'an beautifully. The Arabic text below incorporated some of these rules. These rules must be learned and applied when the reader comes across to the rule because the arabic text below could not incorporate some of the rules, i.e., it involves converting a letter to another letter. The rules will be explained first and then that rule will be represented by an acronym, e.g., by some capital letters, and then that acronym will be used when that tajweed rule exists in an ayat. Most of the rules involve the first letter of a word coming after a word which ends with noon-u saakin (the letter of "n" with a sukuun or jazm over it, like "min") or a word ending with tanwin, e.g., the word which ends with two fathas (like khayran) or two dammahs (like khayrun) or two kasrahs (like dhikrin). The latin text below already incorporated all the rules. The reader should just read the text the way it is written because all the necessary conversions are already incorporated to the text. But user still has to learn and apply the rules to produce the sound from the nose or whatever has to be done when it is required by the respective rule.

RULES OF TAJWEED

First some definitions:

IDGAAM: combining two letters to make one letter and reading that letter with shadda, by closing the lips.

GUNNA: the sound produced from the nose.

iZhaar (IZ): when one of the iZhaar letters (a, kh, H, 'A, g, or h) comes after the noon-u saakin or tanwin, iZhaar occurs. IZhaar means separating two words distinctly by opening the lips. For example, for "man amana" we distinctively finish the "man" and then start the "amana."

IKHFAA (IKHF): Ikhfaa letters are the following fifteen letters: t, th, j, d, dh, z, s, sh, S, D, T, Z, f, q, and k. When one of the ikhfaa letters comes after the noon-u saakin or tanwin, ikhfaa occurs. The tong stays in the middle of the mouth touching neither to top nor to the bottom and a sound will be produced from the nose, i.e., GUNNA. Also, the lips will neither be closed like in idgaam nor opened like in iZhaar and without doing shadda the letters will be produced.

IQLAAB (IQL): when the iqlaab letter "b" comes after the noon-u saakin or tanwin, IQLAAB occurs. The noon-u saakin or tanwin will be converted to "mim" and since both "mim" and "b" is produced from the lips, it will be produced one after the other together, e.g, "min bayni" becomes "mim bayni", see ayat 9 below.

IDGAAM MA'AL GUNNA - idgaam with gunna (IDMG): when one of the idgaam letters (m,n,w or y) comes after the noon-u saakin or tanwin, IDMG occurs. IDMG is performed in the following manner: the noon-u saakin or tanwin will be converted to the first letter of the following word and will be read with shadda while making sound from the nose simultaneously. Lets assume that the first word is "SiraTin" and the following word is "mustaqiym". Since the second word starts with "mim", the last letter of "SiraTin", i.e., the "n" will be converted to "mim". One of the mims will be dropped and the remaining one "mim" will be read with shadda while making the sound from the nose. It will be read "SiraTimmustaqiym", see ayat four below.
OTHER EXAMPLES:
Example for letter "m": "basharun mithlunaa" becomes "basharummithlunaa", see ayat 15 below.
Example for letter "n": "man nu'Ammirhu" becomes "mannu'Ammirhu", see ayat 68 below.
Example for letter "w": "SayHatan waaHidatan" becomes "SayHatawwaaHidatan", see ayat 49 below.
Example for letter "y": "falakin yasbaHuuna" becomes "falakiyyasbaHuuna", see ayat 40 below.

IDGAAM BILA GUNNA - idgaam without gunna (IDBG): when one of the IDBG letters (r or l) comes after the noon-u saakin or tanwin, IDBG occurs. The noon-u saakin or tanwin will be converted to the first letter of the following word and will be read with shadda. Lets assume that the first word is "min" and the following word starts with "lam". In this case, the last letter of "min", i.e., the "n" will be converted to "lam" and thus now there are two "lam". We drop one of the lam and read the remaining one "lam" with shadda. The letter "r" is similar, e.g., we read the "r" with shadda. For example, "gafuurun raHiym" becomes "gafururraHiym" or "min rasuulin" becomes "mirrasuulin" see ayat 30 below, or "lain lam" becomes "laillam", see ayat 18 below.

IDGAAM MITHLAYN (IDMIT): literally means combining identical letters. Usually the last letter of the first word ends with sukuun and the following word starts with the same letter.
EXAMPLES:
1) The last letter of any word ends with a sukuun and the following word starts with the same letter, e.g., like in "rabiHat tijaaratuhum".
2) When the last letter of any word ends with noon-u saakin and the following word starts with the noon, it becomes IDGAAM MITHLAYN and also it becomes IDGAAM MA'AL GUNNA (IDMG), like in "min naarin" or "wa man nu'Ammirhu."
3) Mim-i saakin (mim with sukuun or jazm over it) has three cases:
a. The last letter of any word ends with mim-i saakin and the following word starts with the mim again, e.g., like in "at'Amahum min", it becomes IDGAAM MITHLAYN MA'AL GUNNA - idgaam mithlayn with gunna (IDMIT-G). For idgaam mithlayn with gunna we combine the two letters and make one letter out of them and read it with shadda while making noise from the nose.
b. The last letter of any word ends with mim-i saakin and the following word starts with "b", then it becomes IKHFAA. Examples: "rabbahum bihim" or "tarmihim biHijaratin."
c. The last letter of any word ends with mim-i saakin and the following word starts with the letters other than "b" and "m", then it becomes "iZhaar." Examples: "hum fiyhi" or lakum diynukum."

e = e pronounced like b in English = b softer than t in English = t pronounced like th in thing = th pronounced like g in gem = j

stronger than h in English, H like in (harsh) = H kha = kh softer then d in English = d close to th in with = dh pronounced like r in run = r

pronounced like z in English = z pronounced like s in sit = s pronounced like sh in shut = sh pronounced as strong s somewhat like ss in hiss = S stronger than th in this = D

Strongly articulated palatal T = T Strongly articulated palatal Z = Z Learn it from an Arab Native = 'A;'Å; 'U;'I Learn it from an Arab Native - a guttural g = g f in English = f

strongly articulated guttural K -somwhat like q = q k in English = k l in English = l m in English = m n in English = n

h in English = h w in English = w y in English = y L in English, sometimes it is a combination of L & e = La, or L & e combined



CHARACTERS THAT CONTROL THE READING

While reading the Qur'aan, the reader may get tired or his breath may run out at a certain point and must stop to take a breath. The point of his stopping sometimes may cause a very ill meaning. For this reason, scholars assigned various letters to control the reading. Please, learn the meaning of these letters and apply it while you read the Ya-seen or any other surah.

M (mim) - You must stop when you see this letter.
T (Ta) - You must also stop when you see this letter.
C (Jim) - You may either stop or pass when you see this letter. Stopping is better.
A (Ayn), K (Kaf), S (Sin), Z (Za) - You may stop at these four letters if you run out of breath. But if your breath is good, then you should keep reading.
L (Lam) - If this letter is in the middle of the ayet, it is wrong to stop there. You must keep reading to pass this point. If you run out of breath and must stop, then you will go back and start from an earlier point and pass this letter by reading through it.
L (Lam) - If this letter is at the end of an ayet, you should also read through to pass it. But if you run out of breath and stop it there, then you don't have to go back.
