Tajweed Tuesday
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!
Welcome back to BeQuranic—it’s Tajweed Tuesday! Today, we’re diving into our ayat of the week, which is Surah Ar-Rahman, verses 37 to 45. If you missed it, check out the recitation posted yesterday!
BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Before we break down the ayat, let’s do a quick Tajweed recap:
• We know Tajweed is all about beautifying our recitation—perfecting letter pronunciation and knowing where to stop and start.
• We’ve talked about major and minor mistakes (Lahan Jali vs. Lahan Khafi). Major mistakes affect meaning (big problem!), while minor ones just refine our recitation.
• We’ve covered Mad Asli (the basic elongation) and Wajibul Ghunnah (that nasal sound with Nun and Mim Shaddah).
What’s New This Week?
This week, we learned about Iqlab, which means “switching.” It happens when a Nun Sakin or Tanwin is followed by a Ba (ب). Instead of pronouncing the Nun, you switch it to a Meem sound with two harakats of Ghunnah.
Example: Instead of saying “dhanbihi”, you say “dhambihi” with a clear Meem sound.
You’ll notice this in the Madinah Mushaf, where there’s a tiny Meem above the Nun Sakin or Tanwin. That’s your cue to switch!
Tajweed Breakdown of the Ayat
As we recited our ayat, we spotted:
• Idgham (merging letters) – Full mergers happen with Yarmaloon letters, but some are with or without Ghunnah!
• Ikhfa (half-mergers) – These happen when Nun Sakin meets other letters, like Sheen or Kaf.
• Madd rules – Stretching for four or six harakats depending on the type of elongation.
• Qalqalah – The bouncy letters (ق ط ب ج د).
All of this comes together to perfect our recitation, step by step.
What’s Next?
Next week, we’re diving deeper into Ikhfa, the biggest category of Nun Sakin and Tanwin rules. It’s all about blending the Nun sound smoothly into the next letter without fully merging it.
Final Reminder: It’s Ramadan, the best time to increase our Quran recitation. Keep practicing, and I’ll see you on Tajweed Thursday!
