2. Mouth and Teeth Diagrams 3. Letters of the Oral Cavity 4. Letters of the Throat 5. Letters of the Tongue
3
WHAT IS TAJWEED? Tajweed is that science of the Quran that teaches us to read every letter with its HAQQ and MUSTAHAQQ Qualities. HAQQ are those qualities that are present in the letter all the time. If we remove that quality the letter will cease to exist MUSTAHAQQ are those qualities that are sometimes present in the letter and sometimes not present. These qualities depend on the environment surrounding the letters.
4
HAQQ of the letters The Haqq of the letters consist of two things:
1) The Makhraj of a letter 2) The Sifaat of the letter. MAKHRAJ – That place in the mouth where the letter is born. SIFAAT – Those qualities that differentiate each letter from the next. A combination of Makhraj and Sifaat give us 28 unique letters in the Arabic Language
5
The Five Organs of Speech
1. The Oral Cavity - ألجوف 3. Tongue - اللسان 4. Lips - الشفتان 5. The Nasal Cavity – الخيشوم 2. Throat – ألحلق
6
Four pair of Sifaat to look for in a letter.
1) Is the letter voiced OR voiceless 2) When we pronounce the letter does Airflow through the Makhraj of the letter OR does Airflow stop at the Makhraj of the letter. 3) Is the back of our tongue rising up OR staying down. 4) Is the middle of the tongue rising up OR staying down.

70
Let’s Look at the Makhraj and Characteristics of the Qalqala Letters
71
PLOSIVE CONSONANTS In phonetics, a plosive consonant also known as an oral stop is a consonant that is made by blocking a part of the mouth so that no air can pass through, and the pressure increases behind the place where it is blocked, and when the air is allowed to pass through again, this sound is created. This sound is the plosive consonant. The blocking is usually done using the tongue, the lips or the throat. Plosives can be voiced or voiceless. When the consonant is voiced the plosive sound is called Qalqalah.
72
Qalqala Letters ق ط ب ج د ط – tip of tongue touches the gums of the top two teeth ب – lips close ج – middle of the tongue touches the hard palate د – tip of the tongue touches the gums of the two top teeth HOW DOES QALQALA OCCUR? Air flow from the lungs is interrupted by a complete closure being made in the mouth usually at the site of the Makhraj.

Rules of HamzatulWasl What is Hamzatul Wasl?
It occurs only at the beginning of the word. It occurs without any Harakah on it. It is written as: ٱ If the reader connect the word which begins with Hamzat-Ulwassl with the letter preceding it, so the letter preceding Hamzat-Ulwasl is directly connected to the letter following Hamzat-Ulwasl.

Rules of Hamzatul Wasl Examples of skipping Hamzatul wasl
وَلَهُ ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡمُنشَـَٔاتُ
80
Rules of Hamzatul Wasl When we start reading from a word that begins with Hamzatul wasl, we have to pronounce the Hamzatul Wasl. Then we have to decide what vowel sign to put on it. There are three scenarios that will occur when we start our recitation with a word beginning with hamzatul wasl. Put a fatha on hamzatul wasl Put a kesra on Hamzatul Wasl Put a dhamma on Hamzatul Wasl
81
ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ٱلنَّجۡمُ
Rules of Hamzatul Wasl 1) Fatha َ – When the second letter is Laam saakin or Laam mushaddad. i.e Laam at ta’reef. Eg. ٱلرَّيۡحَانُ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلشَّمۡسُ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ٱلنَّجۡمُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ ٱلشَّجَرُ ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ ٱلۡمِيزَانَ ٱلۡوَزۡنَ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ ٱلۡبَحۡرِ ٱلۡجِنِّ
82
Rules of Hamzatul Wasl ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ
Kesra ِ If the second letter is not Laam at Ta’reef then we look at the third letter. If the third letter has a FATHA OR KESRA then we put a KESRA on Hamzatul Wasl. These words are normally verbs. ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُمۡ
83
Rules of Hamzatul Wasl 3) Dhamma ُ- If the third letter of a verb has a DHAMMA on it then we will put a DHAMMA on Hamzatul wasl.
84
Exceptions to the third letter Rule
The following verbs are the only words in the Quran that have a dhamma on the third letter but hamzatul wasl is pronounced with a Kesra
85
Exceptions to the 3rd letter rule
Hamzatul Wasl will be pronounced with a Kesra in nouns. The following are words we will find in the Quran that must begin with a kesra.
86
Rules of Hamzatul – The Tiny ن Rule
If a word ends in a tanween and the next word begins with a Hamzatul Wasl then we drop one harakah from the tanween and replace it with a tiny ن with a kesra. Eg. خَيۡرًا ٱلۡوَصِيَّةُ-> خَيۡرَنِ ٱلۡوَصِيَّةُ كَرَمَادٍ ٱشۡتَدَّتۡ -> كَرَمَادِنِ ٱشۡتَدَّتۡ جَزَآءً ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۖ -> جَزَآءَنِ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ

Rules of نْ & Tanween ً ٍ ٌ
90
نْ & Tanween When there is a noon saakinah or tanween, we need to look at the next letter following the noon saakinah or tanween. The letter that follows determines how the noon is pronounced, depending on the rule that is applied. There are four rules of tajweed applied to the noon saakinah and tanween. The rules are applied to the noon saakinah in the same way that they are applied to the tanween.
91
There are Four Rules of نْ & Tanween
1) إِظهار – to make clear 2) إِدغام – To merge 3) إِقلاب – To change 4) إِخفاء – to hide
92
Why are the rules of نْ & Tanween the same?
Lets pronounce أَنْ Now pronounce أً They both sound the same and end in a نْ sound!
93
Why are the rules of نْ & Tanween the same?
نْis a ن free from any vowel . It remains unchanged in its written form and as well as in pronunciation when continuing to read after it and when stopping on it. نْoccurs in nouns and verbs in the middle of the word and at the end of the word, and occurs in prepositions and particles only at the end of the word. The noon saakinah can have a sukoon on it, as in : , or can be written with no vowel on it, as in : . Either way, it is considered a noon saakinah The tanween is a term for an extra noon saakinah not used for emphasis, found at the end of nouns when continuing the reading, but absent from the noun in the written form (the noon of the tanween is pronounced but not written), and abandoned in pronunciation when stopping. The tanween can be accompanying a fathah, a dhammah, or a kasrah, as in: ً ٍ ٌ
94
إِظهار Izhar means to make clear.
When نْ and tanween are followed by any of the letters of the throat ء ه ع ح غ خ we will pronounce the نْ clearly. Eg. كِتَـٰبٌ أُنزِلَ مِّنۡهُ مَنۡ خَفَّتۡ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَٱنۡحَرۡ مِّنۡ غِلٍّ۬
95
إِدغام When نْ and tanween are followed by the letters in the word يرملون you will blend the نْ sound into the next letter. In other words you will put a ّon the next letter. There are two types of إِدغام: (i) Idgham with ghunnah – إِدغام بغنة (ii) Idgham without ghunnah - إِدغام بغير غنة
96
إِدغام بغنة قَلِيلاً۬ مَّا يَكُن مِّنَ مِن نَّارٍ وَ مَن يَقُولُ
When نْ and tanween are followed by the lettersي , و, م, ن you will join the ن into these letters and stretch the ghunnah sound. Eg.: قَلِيلاً۬ مَّا يَكُن مِّنَ مِن نَّارٍ وَ مَن يَقُولُ ظُلُمَـٰتٌ وَرَعۡدٌ وَبَرۡقٌ يَجۡعَلُونَ
97
إِدغام بغير غنة When noon and tanween are followed by the letters ل & ر you will join the ن into these letters without the ghunnah sound. Eg.: مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ هُدً۬ى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا ظُلُمَـٰتٍ۬ لَّا أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ كَلَّا لَٮِٕن لَّمۡ وَيۡلٌ۬ لِّڪُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ۬ لُّمَزَةٍ
98
Exceptions to the Idgham rule
The idghaam of the ن saakinah and tanween can only occur between two words. If there is a saakinah in the middle of a word followed by one of the idghaam letters, there is no merging, instead the ن is pronounced clearly (with an إظهار). In the Glorious Qur’an this only occurs with the saakinah followed by aي or a و, and in only four words. This is called:إظهار مطلق (absolute clearness).
99
إِقلاب لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا
When noon and tanween are followed by the letter ب we will change the noon sound into a meem and join the words Eg.: لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ لَنَسۡفَعَۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا صُمُّۢ بُكۡمٌ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ
100
إِخفاء يُنفِقُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ
When noon and tanween are followed by any of the remaining letters ت ث ج د ذ ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ف ق ك you will hide the noon sound into the letter that follows it. Eg. يُنفِقُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ نَارً۬ا فَلَمَّآ أَنتُمۡ وَإِن ڪُنتُمۡ مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن ثَمَرَةٍ۬
