Tanween: It is (actually) a Noon Sakinah which comes at the end of the nouns. It is pronounced but not written as Noon Sakinah. It is only pronounced during the continuous reciting of verses, not while pausing. The sign of Tanween is doubling the signs (harakat) ; Two fatha,two Kasrah, and two Dammah, as in the following: Note One letter doesn’t have more than one sign movement (haraka) at the same time. The double signs above the letter mean that the first is the movement of the letter while the second is an indication for tanween, as in the following: {عَلِيمًا} is pronounced as عليمَنْ { رَحيمٌ} is pronounced as رحيمُنْ {بَيْتٍ} is pronounced as بيتِنْ # The Rules of Noon Sakinah and Tanween “Nunnation 1. Ith-har (clarity) 2. Idghaam (merging) 3. Iqlab (Turning) 4. Ikhfaa (Hiding) # The First Rule: Ith-har The Linguistic and the applied definitions of Ith-har are mentioned above on page 262. The Noon Sakinah or the Tanween is pronounced clearly if they are followed by any of the six throat letters: ء, ه, ع, ح, غ, خ # Some examples on Ith’har of The Noon Saakin and the Tanween Noon sakinah tanween ء {منۡ ءَامَنَ} {كَفَّارٍ أثِيمٍ} هــ { مِنۡ هَادٍ } {قَوۡمٍ هَادٍ} ع { أَنۡعَمۡتَ } { سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ } Some examples on Ith’har of The Noon Saakin and the Tanween Noon sakinah tanween ح {وَانۡحَرۡ} {عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ} غ { فَسَيُنۡغِضونَ} {مَآءً غَدَقًا} خ { مِنۡ خَيۡرٍ } { كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ} The symbol of Ith-har of The Noon Sakinah The sign of the Ith-har of the Noon Sakinah in The Holy Quran is the head part of letter khaa letter without dot on the Noon Sakinah, as in the following: The sign of Ith-har of the Tanween in the Holy Quran is to double the sign (Harakat) above the letter; one for the movment of the letter and the other as an indication for the Tanween like: As in : The symbol of Ith-har of The Noon Sakinah The Second Rule: The Idghaam The Linguistic and the applied dention of Idghaam are mentioned above on pages (230 and 231). The Idghaam of Noon Sakinah and Tanween occurs when the Noon Sakinah and Tanween are followed by one of the six letters which are collected in the word (يَرْمُلُون) There are two types of Idghaam: 1- Idghaam with Ghunnah: its letters are (collected in the word) يُومِنُ or . ينمو 2- Idghaam without Ghunnah: its letters are ر, ل)) Examples on Idghaam with Ghunnah of The Noon Sakinah and the Tanween Noon sakinah tanween ي { فَمَن يَعۡمَلۡ } { خَيۡرًا يَرهُ } و { مِن وَلِىٍّ} {شَىۡءٍ وَكِيلٌ } م { مِن مَّالِ } {خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ } ن { وَ لَن نُّشۡرِكَ} { شَىۡءٍ نُّكُرٍ } # Examples on Idghaam without Ghunnah of The Noon Sakinah and the Tanween Noon sakinah tanween ل {مِن لَّدُنۡهُ } (مِلَّدُنْهُ) { فِتۡنَةً لَّهُمۡ } (فِتْنَتَلَّهُمْ) ر { مِن رَّبِّكَ} (مِرَّبِّكَ) { غَفُورٌ رَّحيمٌ } ( غَفُورُ رَّحِيم) Read as Read as Read as Read as How To Pronounce The Idghaam With Ghunnah As it is mentioned before in (points of articulation of letters) section on page (112) that the pronunciation of Noon(ن) is divided into two parts; the first is the glossal tongue and the other is a nasal suplemmentary part (which is the ghunnah). When the Idghaam with ghunnah occurs ,the glossal part turns into the point of articulation (makhraj) of the letter that follows the Noon. The ghunnah sound remains clear accompanying the merged letter . when the reader comes to pronounce the letter that follows the Noon Sakinah and Tanween then the sound of ghunnah will stop as in the following chart: How To Pronounce The Idghaam With Ghunnah (فَمَيْـــــــــــــــيَعْمَلْ) {فَمَن يَعْمَلْ} { خَيْرٌ مِّنْ} (خَيْرُ مْـــــــــــــــمِنْ) Read as Yaa’ accompanied with long gunnah Read as Meem accompanied with long gunnah The position of the two parts of noon sakinah in the 2 types of Idghaam Glossal part Nasal part example Idghaam with gunnah merged Clear and long { مِن وَلىٍّ} Idghaam without gunnah merged merged { مِن رَّبِّكَ} Note (1) Do not merge theNoon Sakinah or the Tanween into Yaa’ (ي) or Waaw (و) , if they (noon and , Yaa’ or Waaw) occur in the same word. This is found in (these only four ) words 1- {قِنْوَانٌ} and {صِنْوَانٌ} 2- {الدُّنيَا} and {بُنْيـــَٰنٌ} Note (2) In the narration of Hafs from Asim (رواية حفص عن عاصم) from the way of Ash-Shaatibiyyah, there is no Idghaam of Noon into waaw (و) in the continuous reciting of verses such as: There is Ith-har of Noon “The noon sound is clear” The Complete Idghaam Of The Noon Sakinah The complete Idghaam of the Noon into the following 4 letters (ن, م, ل, ر) is respresnted by writing the noon without Sukoon “circle symbol” and by adding shaddah (ّ) to the following letter as in the following: The Complete Idgham Of The Tanween complete Idghaam of the Tanween into the following 4 letters ن, م, ل, ر))is represented by drawing the two same signs beside each other (one for the movement of the letter and the other as an indication of the Tanween) and the letter after the tanween will have shaddah (ّ), as in the following examples: The Incomplete Idgham Of The Noon Sakinah The incomplete Idghaam of the Noon into these 2 letters (و, ي) is represented by writing the noon without Sukoon “circle symbol” and the following letter will be written without shaddah (ّ), as: { مِن وَلِىٍّ} {فَمَن يَعْمَلْ} The Incomplete Idgham Of The Tanween the incomplete Idgham of Tanween into these two letterو, ي) ) is represented by by drawing the two same signs beside each other (one for the movement of the letter and the other as an indication of the Tanween) and the following letter will be written without shaddah (ّ), as in the following examples: The Third Rule: Iqlab The linguistic definition : turn over or change The applied definition : The changing of the Noon sakinah or Tanween into hidden Meem with ghunnah when followed by Baa’ as in the following : The shape of Mouth upon pronouncing the Iqlab of the Noon. Do not leave space between the two lips and not press them strongly . The Iqlab Of The Noon Sakinah the Iqlab of Noon sakinah in the Holy Quran, is represented by addindg small Meem above the Noon instead of sukoon, as in these examples: The Iqlab Of The Tanween the iqlab of the Tanween is rpresented by writing small Meem instead the second sign of Tanween for example: The Fourth Rule: Ikhfaa’ The linguistic and applied definitions of Ikhfaa’ have already mentioned above on page 260. The Noon sakinah or the Tanween is hiddenly pronounced with ghunnah( for 2 counts), if either of them is followed by one of these 15 letters ” ص, ذ, ث, ك, ج, ش, ق, س, د, ط, ز, ف, ت, ض, ظ “ These 15 letters are collected earlier by Sheikh Souliman Al-jamzory (who was alive in 1198 H.) in the first letter of each word of this verse: Examples on Ikhfaa of Noon Sakinah and Tanween Noon sakinah Tanween ص {مَنصُورًا} { بِريحٍ صَرْصًرٍ} ذ { تُنذِرْهُمْ} { عَزِيزٌ ذُو انتِقَامٍ} ت { وَ الأُنثَىٰ} { مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا} ك {مِنكُمْ} { كِرَامًا كَـــــٰتِبِنَ} Examples on Ikhfaa of Noon Sakinah and Tanween Noon Sakinah Tanween ج { أَن جَآءَهُ} { عَيْنٌ جَارِيِةٌ} ش {مِن شَىْءٍ} {شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ} ق { مِن قَبْلِ} {شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ} س {الإنسَـــٰنُ} {خَمْسَةُ سَادِسُهُم} Examples on Ikhfaa of Noon Sakinah and Tanween Noon Sakinah Tanween د { مِن دُون} { وَ كَأْسًأ دِهَاقَأ} ط { عَن طَبَقٍ} { كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ} ز {المُنزَلُونَ} {نَفْسًا زَكِيَّة} ف { أَنفًسِكُمْ} {تَبَعًا فَهَلْ} Examples on Ikhfaa of Noon Sakinah and Tanween Noon Sakinah Tanween ت { مَن تَفَـــٰوُتٍ} {حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَها} ض { مَنضُودٍ} {قِسْمَةٌ ضِيزَىٰ} ظ { انظُرْ} {قُرَىًٰ ظَــــــٰهِرَةً} The Meaning Of The Fact That Ikhfaa’ is state Between The Idghaam And The Ith-har The glossal part The nasal part Ith-har present present Ikhfaa’ Does not exist present idghaam Does not exist Does not exist The Process Of Pronouncing The Hidden Noon 1- preparing the mouth to be in the position of the makhraj of the following letter. 2- the previous step is accompanied by a long complete ghunnah from nasal cavity 3- these previous steps are also accompanied with a sound from the mouth because the makhraj of the noon is not completely closed except with qaf and kaf(ق, ك )because their makhraj is completely closed. An example on the pronounction of hidden noon with “ت, ذ “ The Shape Of The Mouth When Pronouncing The Hidden Noon With Qaf & Kaf (ق, ك) The tongue position during the hidden Noon with qaf (ق) * The tongue backs into the extreme and the throat becomes narrow producing the tafkheem of Ghunnah and the oral part is closed by the furthest tongue part. The tongue position during the hidden Noon with kaf( ك) * This time the tongue should not back at the rear, the sound of Ghunnah is light and the oral part is closed by the furthest tongue part. # Note The sound of Noon with ikhfaa’ is pronounced with tafkheem if it is followed by mufakham letter , as in : {مَنصُورًا} { بِريحٍ صَرْصَرٍ} {عَن طَبقٍ} {انظُرْ} This is because The tongue backs into the extreme and the sound raises to the upper palate . The sound of Noon with ikhfa’a is pronounced with tarqeeq if it is followed by muraqaq letter , as in { الإنسان} {خَمْسَةٍ سَادِسُهُم } {أنفُسِكُمْ} { مِن دُونِ} The symbol of Ikhfaa of the Noon sakinah The sign of the Hidden Noon in the Holy Quran is writing the noon without circle symbol “sukoon” and the following letter is written without shaddah, as examples: The symbol of the Ikhfaa’ of the Tanween The double signs of Tanween are wriiten beside each other and the letter after the tanween is written without Shaddah, as the following: The common Mistakes That Could Happen During Pronouncing The Noon Sakin Or The Tanween 1- Pronounce them clearly in the postion of Ikhfaa’, Idghaam or Iqlab. 2- Merge them with Waaw (و) and Faa’(ف) without Ghunnah. 3- The mouth is opened separately not closed as it is supposed to be during changing the noon sakin into hidden meem and this innovated matter , as: 4- The shape of mouth is the same during the pronounciation of all the letters of Ikhfaa’ as: 5- elongation of the sound of their Ghunnah more than it is supposed to be, as: . 6- hiding the sound of Noon and Tanween with (غ & خ) except in Abi-jaa’far narration, as: . Ghunnah Timings Timings of Ghunnah have four levels: Most complete Ghunnah Complete Ghunnah Incomplete Ghunnah Incomplete Ghuunah Most 1- The Most Complete Ghunnah occurs when the Noon or the Meem are with shaddah and when they are merged ,as in examples: 2- The Complete Ghunnah occurs when Meem or Noon are hidden, as in: Ghunnah Timings 3- The Incomplete Ghunnah occurs when the Noon and Meen are clearly pronounced, as: 4- The Most Incomplete Ghunnah occurs when the Noon and the Meem is Mutaharek ,as in: Ghunnah Timings Note The reader should keep the proper timing of the different levels of Ghunnah in its place whatever the speed of recitation; whether it is “Tahqeeq” or “Hadr” or even “Tadweer” .* * Recitation speeds are already shown and explained on page 52.
